I was the 1% who somehow got PID from IUD insertion even though I’d been tested a week before and hadn’t had -any- sex for weeks before that. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) concerns have been linked to the IUD for years. But it is now known that the IUD itself does not cause PID. Instead, if you have a genital infection when an IUD is inserted, the infection can be carried into your uterus and fallopian tubes. If you are at risk for a sexually transmitted disease (STD), your doctor will test you and treat you if necessary, before you get an IUD. link here: http://www.webmd.com ...

Funny that you mention the ruptured silicone implants, Tina... you realize the creator of Mirena is also the creator of the Norplant system that was ”quietly and voluntarily” removed from the market after women complained of very similar side effects as those which many of us have experienced due to Mirena? When Wyeth got sued over Norplant, they pointed out that many of the lawyers organizing against them were experienced in silicone implant litigation and called it a ”witch hunt”, saying that they were targeted by unscrupulous silicone implant lawyers with some weird silicone bone to pic ...

My Mom passed away earlier this year otherwise I would have LOVED to have her insight on my personal Mirena drama... she was not only a good support when I truly needed her but a Registered Nurse, which has always been handy for all things medical :) you mentioned you are taking the natural route - what sorts of things have been suggested to you?   [End]

I’d suggest finding an herbalist to talk to but second the liver detox idea. You could try doing a 30 day cleanse to get the gunk out of your pipes, as it were, but be forewarned that if you take that route your skin will get worse before it gets better - but once you are done forcing the toxins out, your skin will glow!   [End]

Hi again, ladies! I have already shared my story on an earlier thread but the short version is that I had Mirena in for a grand total of 5 days, inserted 4 weeks after a miscarriage. At the time I got it, I was still having some spotting as a result of the miscarriage but nothing too noticeable... since the Mirena came out (it’s been 4 days so far), I feel 1000x better (except for the occasional bout of frustration and annoyance over the smallest things) but am suffering with really strange ”withdrawal bleeding” (according to the doctor at least) that seems to be getting worse, not bett ...

I’ve been lurking in these forums for weeks now, first when I started researching Mirena and more after I actually had it put in and I know that when I was searching for answers, what I wanted more than anything was to know that I wasn’t alone. So maybe some of you can relate to my story. I had Mirena in for a grand total of 5 days and ended up with a 14 day prescription for antibiotics and an ER visit to show for it. Insertion wasn’t great but I’ve had a child (C-section but I clocked 5 hours of labor so I am familiar with THAT sort of pain) and suffered a miscarriage a month before ...

I’m fairly sure that your body is thrilled to finally have a period and like a body that’s been starving itself for months that finally gets near a candy bar, it’s really enjoying the process of your monthly cycle once again. Even if you aren’t, sorry! If it gets really bad or hurts I’d call the doctor but sounds like you’re OK, just mortified by the crime scene. :)   [End]

I had Mirena put in 4 weeks after a miscarriage and was checked for both STDs beforehand (negative, of course) and did not have any sex in the 5 days between the time I had it placed and me ending up in the emergency room. In fact, I hadn’t had sex for weeks as I’m in a long-distance relationship so I DEFINITELY did not bone anyone during this time or any time recently. The pain only got REALLY bad on the 4th day; up until that point, I was conscious of ”something” there and my lower back ached similar to how it did when I was in the process of the MC but worse by the 4th day after inse ...
