OMG,

I am in shock after reading this. I never got told any of this info either.
Mind you i don't have the mirena i have the multiload one. Don't ask me why the ob wanted me to have this one but apparently it is non - hormonal? Does anyone no the difference between them or anyone else have the multiload one?
I personally have had no problems with this one so far and had it inserted Feb 2008. I was told to check that the strings are there every now and again and when i have pap smears to get them to check it our then as well iukwim.

Skyeski my thoughts are with you at this difficult stressful time. Big hugs and get well soon.
