Side effects of Mirena?

Hi
I had the Mirena fitted last Tuesday, primarily to control bleeding whilst on HRT.

Since then, my bladder has gone awol. Constant weeing and irritation.
I had urine checked for infection and all clear. I do use topical Oestrogen to try and keep things healthy down there.

Next, bloating, migraine type headache and nausea with tummy ache.

All of this with a week!

Could these be potential side effects of the coil?

I'm told repeatedly that it can take weeks for it to settle.

Seriously, I need to work and run a home and this is not conducive with either! I feel absolutely wretched 😢

I had very light bleeding/spotting for a couple of months afterwards but things settled after that. I didn't experience any of what you describe, the only drawback for me has been awful skin. I'm prepared to put up with it as I like everything else, but seems I've had a fairly easy ride.

@AmberHeardsTurd thanks
Well it seems it could just be me having a reaction to it then?

Maybe it will settle.

I seem a bit more irritable too.

I’ve had none of the side effects you describe. Could it be coincidence, and something else is causing it ?
