...Fe 20, and hated it. Honestly, from the way my gynos spoke, you'd think I was the only woman in the world with PMDD AND migraines with aura. Anyway, we decided that it might be a good idea to try Mirena, since one thing that helps with my PMDD is not having a period at all. So! I got it inserted on Friday (7-31), and the insertion process was pretty easy. A little bit of cramping, but overall...

Hello! Since I got such awesome reassurance from my last post, I decided to post again because I am a little freaked out. So I got my Mirena inserted July 10 and spotted for about 2/3 days after. I got my period about 6 days ago... the bleeding has been constant but the flow is varied. Yesterday I had sex and that was fine, and we went swimming afterwards. I took my tampon out, nothing special. About...

hey divas, so, i got my mirena inserted in august of last year. by january, the random spotting that had been clearing up stopped, and i had a regular period for a couple of months (mirena regular for me is apparently cramps, sore nipples, breakouts on my face, lower back pain, and some pretty intense bloating, and ONE instance of spotting on the "first day"). By march or april that spotting was totally...

 Hello ladies, I had my Mirena inserted a week ago today and can't help but notice that my abdomen looks slightly pregnant! I feel and look SO bloated, I have never experienced this sort of bloatedness in my life! Will this pass or should I be prepared to deal with this for a while? Thanks :-)

...was all working.  I looked forward to my placebo week as a time to chill out and, if needed, have an excuse to feel sorry for myself and watch BBC corset porn for a whole night. But since getting my Mirena I've had the chance to experience a couple of things that have been awesome.  The first thing is weekend trips.  I don't have to agonize about packing my pills and worry about when to take them...

 Hello ladies, I'm new here and just got my Mirena inserted on Saturday morning. I'm very optimistic that I will have less pain with periods as I've suffered with A LOT of it my entire life. I have endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and possible adenomyosis hence my periods SUCK!! I've tried everything to reduce the pain- surgeries, depo provera, bcp, etc.. but nothing seems to help. My gyno has...

... my cervix felt really hard as if something is sitting right above it. It wasn't painful, and I couldn't feel anything plastic sticking out, but it felt as if the IUD is possibly sitting low... or maybe my cervix is just hard? Does anyone else have this? Thanks in advance! EDIT: I've had the Mirena since about early March of this year and have had no issues with it until the last few weeks.

So I have had my mirena for 5 months now... and I'm thinking...but hoping its not time for it to go. I have noticed in the last 3 months signifcant hair loss, like at first it wasn't too bad..but now its crazy like i know its normal to lose 100-200 hairs per day but I honestly think I lose that much as soon as i get my hair wet in the shower!! And every day it gets more and more scary! I do have a...

Hi :) Just been reading all the posts before my Mirena insertion, and some of them scared me a little. However, never thought of giving up the possible solution for many years of heavy bleeding. To comfort and give some hope to some of the "Mirena divas to be", I just want to share my insertion experience. It was no big deal, and much easier than I would have imagined. I never had children, I have...

Hello, I have a few questions.  I'm going on 4.5 years with my Mirena IUD; I've never had kids, have had no problems with it, and haven't had any periods, but the ob-gyn couldn't find the strings.  Today I went in and the guy felt around up there and couldn't find any sign of it, and I was given a cheap ultrasound which didn't show anything.  Could I have expelled the IUD and not have known it, and...
