I had the Mirena put in on 10th January 2019. My gp originally tried to insert it mid December 2018 but couldn't get it in so I had it done by hysteroscopy in hospital. The reason i had Mirena was to help with heavy bleeding and constant low iron levels. Following insertion I had cramping and then a few days later the worst period I have ever had for about 10 days. Flooding and bad bad pain. After this I developed Bacterial Vaginosis! Week after this I got a UTI I am 41 and never had one before. Gp assured me neither the BV or UTI were caused by the coil. After 2 weeks of Antibiotics I developed extreme pain in my left pelvic area which has lasted 3 weeks, I was sent for a scan to see if I had an ovarian cyst but they couldn't even see my left ovary so I was told that was a good sign. I have been in constant pain which has also gone into my left thigh and left lower back. I made an appointment for today to have the Mirena removed which was really quick and didn't hurt at all. Within an hour of having it removed the pain in my pelvic area has reduced to almost nothing. It just annoys me that all the health professionals I have seen in the last 9 weeks kept assuring me it wasn't the coil and I felt like they thought I was making it up. I have been in constant pain for weeks! I also struggled to lose weight on it. I didn't really gain but I have been eating a low carb diet and weight loss was nowhere near what it should have been. Anyone else have a similar experience with the pelvic pain?
