I thought I had a forgotten about tampon “lost” within me, Googled and apparently it can’t get lost.

Husband tried to remove it (was really romantic 😳) and I eventually removed it except it wasn’t a tampon, I have accidentally removed my Mirena 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈.

I am waiting for 111 to call me back, I feel like such an idiot🙈🙈.

Ouch!!! Are you ok?

You’ll need to book yourself in to have a replacement mirena if you want to continue that birth control.

I would say you don’t have a tampon in if you dh was able to get right up there to remove the coil

Verbena87 · 27/06/2021 20:48

Oh Jesus, did it not hurt?!? Crossing my legs just thinking about it!

Besswess88 · 27/06/2021 20:50

No I removed it 🤣🤣

I am on the waiting list for removal as DH has had a vasectomy.

Cripes. That’s a lot of rummaging.

I’m sure you’ve done yourself no harm, other than needing a new coil. I suppose it goes without saying you shouldn’t try and pop it back in...

Ouch...

PurpleyBlue · 27/06/2021 20:51

Ow!!! Did it not hurt?

Purplecatshopaholic · 27/06/2021 20:51

How on earth…..?

IntroducingMyLadyGarden · 27/06/2021 20:51

Hahaha that's priceless and now all you have to do is make a call to cancel your wait for removal - win! 😆😆😆

Soubriquet · 27/06/2021 20:51

Well at least they saved you a job getting it removed but still I’m wincing for you.

It hurt having mine out

BaronessOfTheNorth · 27/06/2021 20:53

Haaaahahaa!! YANBU.

PS I have fainted every time I've had one inserted and it's been horrendously painful but never felt a single thing at IUD removal.

I once did this with a contact lens and pulled up part of my cornea.

Biancadelrioisback · 27/06/2021 20:56

Well, I've not exactly done that but I have forgotten about a tampon up there for about a week or so. Had to do some wild gymnastics to get my arm up there to retrieve it...

Soubriquet · 27/06/2021 20:56

Ok…I’m getting the feeling I shouldn’t have commented on this thread.. Grin

Cryalot2 · 27/06/2021 20:59

How do you feel?[flowers.
Has your husband had his clear tests after his op?. They can take a while.

Buggerthebotox · 27/06/2021 21:00

I lost a tampon. It's really easily done. I forgot to tug the string when putting it in. Blush. It refused to come out of its own accord and a had to have it removed by a nurse.

A coil though - ouch.

PeanuttyButter · 27/06/2021 21:11

I removed my own Mirena I was surprised at how easy it came out to be honest!
Least you don't have to worry about some random person mooching around there and removing it

OP said her husband has had a vasectomy
Besswess88 · 27/06/2021 21:23

No - I felt nothing .....

I am worried that anything has been left behind 🙈🙈

He had his vasectomy 18 months ago.

Have you googled to check what it looks like vs what you have?

Thank God. I thought I was the only one who ever did this.

I did this while drunk once. I felt so embarrassed explaining myself at the eye hospital.

OP women remove their own mirerenas all the time (I work in family planning). It’s v easy you literally just pull the strings (which I’m sure you’ve realised!). If you can see the full t shape nothing will be left behind. All you’ve done is saved yourself a trip and speculum examination!
