I have FINALLY gone to the doctor. I went on the 21st of July and told him everything that I have been feeling and how I just wasn’t comfortable with it anymore and would feel a lot better if I could switch back to the pill. I know the pill, I’ve had it for years before I decided to jump on the stupid 5 year birth control train, so i wanna go back. He of course wanted to start of by being a jerk and saying that its the most affective birth control and the only way to check that nothing was wrong was to do an ultrasound and how I would know if it fell out and blah blah blah. Doctors are asses… theres nothing knew about that. They feel that are smarter than you or nurses and tend to try to dumb you down sometimes ((not all but a lot of them are)) but anyways going on rabbit trails, as my Dad calls it. :)) Anyways.. got to the point where I finally told him.. its my body and I’m not feeling comfortable with it and I want it out and I know it didn’t fall out, I’m more worried about it going up!
So I talk him into it and he tries to get it out… and its not working. It was not coming out. I have to say that was the worse pain I have felt in such a long time. It literally felt that he was trying to tug all my insides out with it. Needless to say, he was full of apologies after that. He told me that he thought it had embedded into my cervix and that we were going to have to numb me up and try again.
Soooooooooo… I went back yesterday. Was kinda excited and alil nervous at the same time. Figured I would go in there and they would numb me up and get it out.. as quick as possible and then I’d be done. It didn’t work out that way. He numbed my cervix and gave me as much as humanly possible and still could not get it. I really don’t feel that the medicine he gave me to numb me worked because I felt all the same pain as before. He told me that now he thinks there is a small possiblity that it is working its way through my uterine wall but he can’t be for sure just yet. I had to go for an ultrasound ((go figure)). He gave me a shot for the pain and sent me on my way….
The lady that did my ultrasound was soo nice and told us that if something was majorly wrong she would not let me leave the hospital but other than that she isn’t allowed to tell us what she saw and that we have to wait for the doctor to call us back. So here I am waiting… its actually extremely annoying. I just want the damn thing out already!!
I’m hoping that its just that I’m a wuss and that it takes something real simple to get it out. No surgeries cause I, for one, can’t afford to take off work and two, freaks the hell out of me.
So pray for me and hope I get this stupid thing out soon!! :/
well an update to my story..... It turns out that the mirena had ended up in my cervix.. turned sideways and embedded into the left side of my cervix.. the string had gone up inside of me and actually wrapped around the mirena itself.. they ended up haveing to do a D&C to get it out on August 16th...
Good News.. Its out!! Yay!
Bad news..its September 15th and no period... not even a sign.. but I'm not gonna stress because I heard that it takes awhile for your period to come back but I'm naturally paranoid so I've kinda been taking tests every time I turn around.. just as a percaution.. I'm not really sure how protected I've been considering how the mirena was actually sitting inside of me so it feels better to just take a test to re-assure myself alil.. especially since I've had a roller coaster of emotions since I've had the thing taken out... its insane how my moods have been... I've had cramping here and there and tons of headaches... bloating.. and on and on.. but I'm assuming its just my body getting over the mirena.. this is def. something I will never do again... EVER.
did you have spotting? or any bleeding after it was removed?
my story is the mirena one, can you say ouch?
they had to numb my cervix as well.
I'm spotting but havent really had a period.

I did finally hit my period.. last Friday.. it was about as normal as every other period.. the first day was pretty painful but other than that .. normal.. I think it just takes alil bit for it to actually start cause we have to also remember that this is a hormonal birth control so its messed with us alot... I didnt have any spotting before hand tho... I wish you both luck with yours. I hope to never do this again
Wow this is actually my worse nightmare. I really dont feel my string at all in my body soo imscared that if i tlel my gyno to take it out she wont be able to find it ad pull it out. Im also afraid of the pain. I havent really had any problems with mine except longer periods and crmaping and just recently my period came 2 weeks late and then 2 weeks after that i got my period again. Before that i was getting breakthrough bleeding in between periods but my gyno put me on birthcontrol pills for two months and that went away. I have a paraguard though so i have no hormones. I just feel a little weird having this foreign object in my body i kinda wish i had never put it in although it has kept me from getting pregnant for 3 years soo it does work.
