If you experienced side-effects from Mirena

[TalesOfTheCity]

How quickly were they apparent to you?

Just posted a different thread about switching from a copper IUD to Mirena and I'm very nervous after hearing all the various Mirena side-effect stories. I've heard enough good stories that I'm willing to give it a go, but I've avoided all forms of hormonal contraception for most of my adult life so I'm nervous and want to know whether, if I'm someone who is going to be affected, it will be obvious quickly so I can get it taken out straightaway and have no idea what to do next

I never stopped bleeding. My body utterly rejected it and expelled it. Foolishly tried a second time and eventually had it removed. Didn't work for me.

I had read about experiences before having it fitted. But guess everyone is different & it could of worked for me. Hey ho. Live & learn.

How are you getting on Tales, I hope you managed to come to a decision in the end.

And how're you Northumberland? Did you go back to your GP? I'm sorry you're having such a horrid time.

I'm going back next week when I'm off work to see the GP that fitted it.

I had loads of gynae problems earlier in the year CIN3 cells, biopsy & Loop done. Sick to bloody death of it all really.

I don't want them to remove it next week as I'm singing in a concert and don't want to be distracted by cramps & bleeding (although that may happen if I start my period anyway - there is no pattern)

Planning to ask for an apt to remove it the week after and then ask them to refer me for an ablation. I have private health with work so hoping it won't take too long
