Has anyone experienced this before?

Hi ladies,

So I've had the mirena coil for over 3 years. But from about August last year I started having pains similar to what I would have during periods but with no bleeding. So they've been gradually getting worse and basically this month I've been getting a slight bleed for about 7 days. It stopped and since yesterday it's started again with the bleeding.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Any idea what could be causong this?

Hows your temperature ?

This happened to me , my temperature rose dramatically and I was admitted to hospital with a severe womb infection cause by the body rejecting the coil , as soon as it was removed I felt so much better although I was still in hospital for a further 5 days on a drip of antibiotics, so please contact your doctor , I wish you well and a speedy recovery

Thanks for your response.

My temperature was quite high but it seems to have settled itself. If it gets that bad I definitely will. Thank you!

I had the Mirena for 10 years with constant daily pain but no bleeding. It doesn’t work for everyone and I got told By my GP after 3 Years the amount of hormones that’s released starts to diminish.

Hi, thank you for your response. I think the hormones might be reducing and its scary because I need an Op to get it out - it can't be the GP and the hospital isn't doing any ops right now.

If it gets really serious call your gp, get them to see if the hospital can remove it as an emergency, fingers crossed it all settles down
