Experiences with

Mirena

I had a 2nd laparoscopy in March 2021 where I had the mirena fitted at the same time. I had bleeding for 6 months after and I started to get pain again when my consultant informed me I could take dienogest 2mg alongside which could help settle the pain.

Is was only after I was ushered out, I realised the Mirena coil hadn’t been checked - or that I didn’t understand what was meant by ‘check’. I think the info leaflet said a 6 week check.

Mirena coil was fitted during the surgery and my cramps came back (no as bad as it use to be 🤞🏻) before the mirena I was under two mini pills x days to cut completely my period and handle my pain.

I had a mirena coil fitted when I was 18 but it was during my laparoscopy so I obviously wasn’t aware of it being inserted. Some complications and changes, it ended up ‘falling’ down. Then tried the implant and then the pill.

I have a mirena coil for progesterone element. Any thoughts or help would be so helpful as I have no idea what this means so thank you in advance. I’ve been on HRT for approx 8 years and switched from tablet to gel 18 months ago due to poor absorption.

I'm so worried that the mirena isn't right for me and that's what's causing the issues. Maybe I'm just over thinking it. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

During the op I had the mirena coil inserted. Now 14 months later, I’m still having pain most days. I finally have a gyno appt coming up in a few weeks and I think they’re going to suggest having my coil taken out, which feels like a really big decision.

Hi guys I'm pretty worried what the next few weeks are going to look like for me. I asked the GP to do a meds review a few months ago as I was having the marina coil removed, this included 600mg of prcegablin a day. I was told this was safe during pregnancy so got on with my life. My GP phoned

I also have a Mirena coil fitted (from the same time). I’ve recently moved to the West Midlands and have been fighting to be referred to gynae since August 2021 when I moved here. Finally managed to get a referral but first appointment they have is August 2023.

Hi, I have had the Kiera coil fitted 18 months since having my 3rd laparoscopy for severe endo. Everything has been fine , my period stopped but for the last 3/4 I have had pain again, my moods are horrendous and my passion for life and tolerance for people is thin! As well as the weight gain and acne

Hi everyone I currently have the Mirena coil which was inserted/replaced during my lap in March 2021. I just had an internal ultrasound due to ongoing add increasing pain to check if any new cysts and luckily none found. However my Mirena is low lying at 7mm low.

Literally makes me want to vomit man as I’m having a weird period with the mirena coil I bleed heavily with huge clots for a day and then stop and continue spotting with clots. The pain makes me feel so unwell, vomiting and dizzy. Am I the only person with this ?!! 😢

Undiagnosed but suspected Endo GP tried to fit mirena coil a few weeks back but couldn't measure as my womb neck was too tight. She wants to try again this Friday with local but I am so scared. The last one made me suffer for days and I just don't know what to do.

I’ve had the mirena coil for almost 8 years (8 years post diagnosis) and I’ve started having symptoms again. No bleeding or severe cramps but bad back and pelvis pain. Has anyone else had this post hormonal treatment? Or am I being overly worried?

My mirena coil decided it wasn't happy with its home and abandoned ship🙂🙃 Definitely wasn't pleasant , after a morning in a and e with shock and lots of bleeding , I have been put on tranexamic avid and provera to stop the bleeding.

Hi everyone, I had the Mirena coil fitted in November to help with my Endo pain and bleeding. They did say it can take 6 months before it starts to work but the pain has worsened and the fatigue is awful!

I have severe endometriosis, had the mirena coil fitted and am currently on Zoladex. A recent MRI has now shown that the endo has spread to my bowel and that my uterus is stuck to my bowel. My consultant has advised that my options now are to have a hysterectomy and/or possible bowel surgery.

I am currently fitted with a mirena coil from May 2021 was previously on progesterone only pill which I stopped taking in Dec 2020. The consultant is going to do a cystoscope with dilation and biopsy next.

The pain has definitely decreased dramatically since straying the pill and then moving to the mirena All I got told was to loose weight and wait for surgery.

During this surgery I had a mirena coil inserted and also HRT patches. I have bleed from day 1 although settled it’s now a brown discharge quite thick. I have an appointment with sexual health clinic ,as anyone had the same treatment.
