Anyone successfully have a Mirena Coil after rejection?

[Agapantson]

My body had just "expelled" my Mirena 5 weeks after insertion. GP booked me in for another appointment to have refitted.

Am I chasing a pipe-dream - or has anyone successfully had a Mirena after their body has rejected/expelled one?

Bit of background:
Last month I had a new Mirena coil. Had previously had a copper one but switched to Mirena as thinking about HRT.

Anyway, previous, copper coil fitted a few years back at Hysteroscopy clinic as GP tried but couldn't get it in. I have retroverse and retrograde uterus - hence sent to clinic. V lovely and experience consultant said it took some work to get in the right place - but he did it. Took a while. He double, double checked it was fitted correctly.

This time - with the Mirena - the consultant at the clinic was a patronising, condescending arse just popped it in with a complacent "There you go, and I didn't even need the camera".

5 weeks on I have just had to have said Mirena removed at the GP surgery as strings hanging out of my body, bleeding like anything and cramping since Saturday.

I am sooooo hoping next appointment/attempt will work. Or does rejecting it mean not going to work - that my body will now automatically fight it? I previously "successfully" had a Mirena about 10/12 years ago. Only for 6 months as was for heavy periods and not helping them (the periods now been sorted as underactive thyroid treatment fixed that). Has anyone gone from expelling to keeping hold of?

My body has expelled mine. Or rather polyps have! I was experiencing mid cycle bleeding so got sent for a scan where they discovered polyps. The polyps have dislodged the coil. I’m walking around with it dislodged until 12th aug when they remove the polyps and I assume they will remove the coil too! I’m in two minds about whether to get it refitted or not.

Can you feel it being expelled? Or is it an "Internal" thing - ie it has moved but not coming out of it's own accord?

I am so glad mine was removed this afternoon - it feels like my body has just release a huge sigh of relief and most of the cramping has gone.

I’m pleased they’ve taken yours out. Are you going to try again? Are they going to investigate why it’s being expelled or is it just one of those things?

I can’t feel mine. It’s still there but a scan revealed it’s dislodged due to polyps. I was waiting 5 weeks for an appointment for removal of the coil and polyps but the appointment had just been cancelled. I’m left with heavy mid cycle bleeding and a dislodged coil. I rang the doctor who just gave me medication to try to stop the bleeding. I’m really anxious about it and feel like I’m just being left. I’ve ended up going private and have a consultation with a gynaecologist on Thursday.
