Experiences with

Mirena

Hello ladies I had my coil fitted 22nd of June and I don’t think there’s been a day with there hasn’t been some blood, is this normal? I’m not heavy and i don’t feel unwell in myself just wondering if it will settle anytime soon? Tampons are expensive 😩

I had a Mirena Coil fitted in May and this has made everything so much worse. I've never bled or had pain like it since being fitted and considering I 'probably' have Endo, that's saying something. Does anyone know if this is normal and it will go away?

At the moment the plan is surgery in 2 weeks with insertion of mirena. Unfortunately when I tried the mirena a few years ago it didn't work for me so am I bit hesitant to try it again but know I need to try something.

Just wondering if anyone had anything similar with a sudden increase in cramps after 2 years with mirena? Bit of bummer as first time in a while I've had to take things easy because of being sore! Thank you in advance for any replies!

Hi everyone, I’ve never got on well with hormones.....combined causes migraines, pills made my existing anxiety worse and the Mirena made my moods terrible. I’ve already had excision surgery but 2 years after and it’s defo taken over again.

Hello, i have a dilemma..i don't know to take my mirena out.

This is smaller than the Mirena and releases less hormones but there is very little info on jaydess and endo. I am coming up to a month on jaydess and I am very very happy so far! I could not tolerate the pain from the Mirena at all and in the past progesterone has given me horrible side effects.

I have endometriosis, and the mirena coil fitted. I am 21 years old. I went to the loo earlier for a pee, and some tissue paper got caught in the strings of the mirena (strings are too long, GP is aware). However, I tried to detangle the tissue paper but accidentally pulled on my strings.

Can I ask that any of you who have switched from Dec/ livial to the mirena coil could give me some info on what I should expect, if anything, in terms of side effects. Thanks

Has any of you ladies had Mirena coil removed and gone cold turkey of contraception with any success?

I had a coil fitted for heavy periods about 2 years ago and haven't had a period for approx 18 months. In the last 2 days I've started bleeding with low abdominal pain. Any idea what should I do - do I go the the GP? I'm worried because my Mum died of ovarian cancer - I know it is highly unlikely

I had the mirena coil fitted 6 weeks ago while having my 5 laparoscopy and my symptoms are worse them before. Constantly bleeding, pain, trouble and pain passing water.

Whenever I have been on the pill or had the mirena they did not help with my pain and they brought with them depression, anxiety and mood swings. I have learnt that a complete change of diet helps me, and it has taken me many years to figure out what food and drink I can and cannot have.

Had a Laparoscopy in 2010 then another in 2015 to remove lesions and on the second one also had Mirena coil fitted rather than a Hystorectomy, periods halted after six months, with just a light break through every now and then.

The results showed no endo or anything abnormal but they fitted the mirena coil at the same time. Not that I want endo but feel so frustrated I haven't got any answers as to the cause of constant daily pain. Its been more than two weeks since the op and I still don't feel right.

The consultant didn't really listen to any of my symptoms, said that it sounded like IBS and that I should try the mirena coil to see if it easies the pain.

I just wanted to thank you for being there when I needed someone to talk to. I had put my constant bleeding for over 10 months down to 'the change' and my lack of energy and tiredness I thought was my age (I'm 51) however after Drs identifying anaemia and referring me to gynae, I had a scan, they found

The surgeon also inserted a mirena coil during the surgery but I'm getting bleeding still and like this horrible water bloody discharge. Just wanted to see if any of you had the same feeling 4 weeks on.

Hi everyone, I had my lap done last year, my surgoen fitted a marina coil. My body really didn’t agree with the coil and tried to reject it and it was awfully painful so bad it removed Feb this year. Since then i’ve been reluctant to go back on any contraception. I’ve been on lots of different pills

The doctors have told me to try on the Mirena coil instead of the pill (Lucette) and I’ll have it inserted during my surgery. I was wondering if anyone has had the coil and what their experiences were, as all I can find are bad ones which is making me a bit apprehensive about having it.
