Mirena????

it may sound mad but I am rather neurotic about medical things!! I had a mirena coil fitted yesterday and I'm not sure if I can have a bath or should shower for a while. I know it sounds daft but I'm scared of doing the wrong thing .... HELP please all advise welcome thanks

Yes you can bathe. It''ll be fine: it won't fall out and you won't whoosh water up into your womb.

What choufleur said! You can just carry on with everything in life as normal Smile

If you do find you feel uncomfortable at all though, do go back to your GP - I suffered with one for the whole five years, until when it was taken out I suddenly realised how awful it had been. So just be careful - but hopefully you'll be fine and dandy, and it'll be brilliant! :o

unlike mine which embedded itself into my womb and had to be surgically removed!
