Hi all . . .
So i've had my mirena in for over 5 years now with no problems at all. . . .back in October I went to have it taken out by a nurse at a local sexual health clinic. . . she found the strings really quickly (or atleast that's what she said) and began to pull but it would not budge at all! She told me a Dr would need to have a go as they can use different instruments.
Went to my Dr - he couldn't find the strings at all so referred me to gynaecology but the appointment is not until January.
Ever since then I've been in constant pain in my pelvis. . . i ended up back at the Drs and they diagnosed me with PID and gave me antibiotics - this Dr suggested it could be coil related and to go to a&e if it got worse, it got worse so I ended up at a&e . . .they said they didn't think it had anything to do with the coil, checked my bloods and urine said i was fine and told me to go to a sexual health clinc as they are more specialised in coil removal. . . .I went to the sexual health clinic and they looked very hard and the strings are 100% not there! She did an internal examination and said the tenderness in my uterus suggests the coil could have shifted when the original nurse tried to get it out. I need to go to my GP and demand an emergency scan . . .rang GP they wont' see me until Friday.
Fast forward to today - i'm in constant period type pains which worsened after me and DH had some light fun this morning and are worse when Im sat down. . . I just feel like i'm not being listened to and I'm fed up of being in pain . . .it's beginning to affect my mental health now i'm anxious about it all and I feel bad on my husband for being a burden for being emotional.
I just don't know what to do next. . . I can't go on like this. . .

Did you forget it was in there? Or just couldn't face getting it removed?

My dumb ass GP didn't check the position of my uterus (if she had, she would have found it was tilted).. She put it in but it was more painful than she said it should have been. A week later, I was in pain with what I can only describe as feeling severely constipated. Went back to GP, she couldn't find the strings, referred me for a scan, told me it'd be 2 weeks. I cried walking out of there and so my amazing DH stormed back in 
and had a fit at her (was her fault ultimately!!).. She referred me for an immediate scan and hospital scanned me took it out under GA that afternoon. I actually had to have ultrasound, then internal (awful when you're in pain down there) an x-ray nd then an MRI! Dipshit GP had managed to shove it through the wall of my uterus and it was sat in the pouch of Douglas (had never heard of that before!).. I would demand a bloody scan OP. You can't function normally with that pain. I'll never have a coil again!
