I have had the Mirena IUD for the past year and have noticed I gained weight no matter my diet and exercise. I'm pretty much stayed the same. I was looking for experiences or friends that have been on an IUD and after it was removed you/they saw weight loss.

I am 20 years old and always get diaper rash when I use pads. As soon as I switched to tampons I stopped getting it. About a week ago out of nowhere I got it again. I figured no big deal put some A&D ointment on it and it will be gone in the morning. It still hasn't gone away. As long as I keep it clean and dry it doesn't itch or hurt, but the skin there is still red and if I don't keep the A&D on it my skin dries out and cracks. I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong this time. I know its not

I got my mirena out and started the pill about a week later but I had unprotected sex after only taking the pill for 4 days. Today 1 week after that I'm having cramps and ny breasts are super tender. I suppose that could be from the BC but I found out I was pregnant with my first really early on so I'm thinking I really might be. What I'm wondering is after 4 days would the pill have been completely unaffective or just not as affective? Any feedback would be appreciated :)

I have an appointment next week to switch birth control. I just stopped taking the mini pill 2 days ago, and am wanting to switch to Mirena. When i go in for my appointment, will my doctor be able to put it in that same day, or am i going to have to go in on another day?

So i have been dating this guy for a month now. We have a really great connection, he likes to go out and do things with me, has made me dinner before and we have really good chemistry. i told him in the beginning that i was not looking for a fwb type of situation and i am looking for a relationship. He said he was looking for the same. So this past weekend apparantly one of his friends just found out her husband had cheated on her and he went to go help her move out into a new apartment. I ha

I got it inserted at the end of December. 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor because I'd been bleeding for 2 weeks. She told me it was normal and that I could expect that for 6 months to a year! 2 weeks later...I'm STILL bleeding. It's not just light bleeding. It's like moderate period bleeding and I am SO fed up with it. The main reason why I got Mirena was because I was hoping to eliminate my periods because I HATE my period...now I feel like I've had a month long period, complete with the m

While I was breastfeeding I was taking Errin (Substitute for Micronor or the "mini pill" which has the progestin only so it's safe for the baby. Now that I stopped breastfeeding, I am taking Junel Fe 20 mcg. Since I started taking it 11 days ago, I have gained 6 lbs!!! Has anyone else gained weight with this birth control pill? I thought about trying Mirena but I read online that can cause weight gain as well. So now I'm stuck! Is there any "good" birth control pills out there? I was on Ortho-

I had my son 5 weeks ago today and will have my 6 week check up on monday. I've been looking into birth control and what to get when I go to my 6 week check up. Before I got pregnant I had tried the depo shot which I hated, it made me bleed continuously, the patch which I also hated because it made me very sick, and the pill which I loved but I don't think I can take while breast feeding. When I had my son they gave me the mini pill but it makes me nervous because it only thickens the cervical

I've had the Mirena Coil in for about 3-4months, The doctor said it was naturally too have slight period now and then and most women stop having period around 8months if i'm right, But i wan't too know if it's OK too have slight period cramping pain when having the Mirena coil in, Even when i'm not bleeding. I normally get it in my lower stomach. I've asked a few off my friends and they say its because my body is new to having the Mirena coil in and i shouldn't worry, Is this normal? and has a

I have had the mirena coil fitted for heavy prolonged periods. I know that the periods will take a few months before they get lighter. One thing I don't know is will they get shorter. When I say they were prolonged is an understatement. They could go on for anything to 3/4 months. I don't go back to the hospital until March and am just wondering whether they will go on as long. Is there anyone that can help me with an answer. Thanks

if you do have it, do you like it? tell me about it :/

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for a little more than a year and a half now and have been having problems lately. The first six months of our relationship were amazing but last winter I went on birth control and didn't want to have sex or touch him like that anymore or be touched like that. I know that that can sometimes be a side affect of birth control so I was guessing it was that. I tried switching to another birth control to see if that helped anything but it didn't and we contin

I have an appointment next week to switch birth control. I have been taking the mini pill, but i have a hard time taking it at the EXACT same time everyday. Such a hassle with the mini pill, AND i started bleeding heavily between my periods. Anyway, can you also let me know YOUR experience with having Mirena, or Paragard; how was insertion for you... threads... periods... anything. I am pretty excited about having it put in soon. Thank you! *oops, i meant i am excited about having ONE put in

I'm fifteen and a half (exactly!) and for various reasons don't want to continue using a birth control pill. I also would like to get rid of my period, and I know there is a chance of this on Mirena, the one I'm interested in. I am wary of Depo-Provera because of the possible issues regarding bone density, and it isn't recommended for people my age or for long term use. An IUD seems convenient and I'm interested. What should I know and can I use one at my age? I'm taking this very seriously

What is the availability of it?( how do you get it) What are some interesting facts about Mirena

I have had thew MIrena IUD and I feel like im having contractions HAs anyone ever had this before?

I just got my Mirena put in last Wednesday. The nurse had told me that this birth control works right away. I just had unprotected sex for the first time since, but I am now experiencing terrible cramps. They feel like the cramping I had the first two days of getting Mirena inserted. Is this normal to happen? ( I got the Mirena inserted the last day of my period. if that helps)

Ok so here is the thing, my boyfriend and I have unprotected sex. He has had a vasectomy and I am using the Mirena IUC. Before, and after the mirena placement my cycles have always been regular... I have missed my period by four days now. I know that having the mirena during pregnancy is dangerous, and I dont know if I should take a test, or if I am just jumping the gun here. Is there anyone out there that can give me an answer on if I could be pregnant? because I cant find anything on google

i had an ultrasound scan a week or so ago and it came back that i had a heart shaped uterus and polycystic ovaries, and that i have to have the coil removed, so im going tommorow to get it taken out but im just a bit worrie about what exactly happens and what the doctor is going to do and whether it will hurt or not, and also will i start to bleed straight away??.. thanks for all answers x

My girlfriend had her Mirena taken out 9 days ago. We have been TTC ever since it has been out. She got pregnant with her ex the first week she took it out last time she had it in.It says 80% of women are able to get pregnant within 8 months of its removal. Does that mean it will take 8 months for her to get pregnant or is it just giving a ballpark figure?? I am really wanting to be a daddy so I am hoping for the best.

I got the Mirena IUD inserted on Jan 20th. It has been almost 4 weeks and I'm still bleeding. Is this normal? When will it stop?

Hi, I got the mirena placed in June of 2010 after my son was born. I have had very regular periods (around the 15th of each month, every month.) until January. I can't feel my mirena strings, and i've had really bad cramping off and on. My period in January started normally, but lasted 10 days instead of the normal 5 days. Then, a week later, I got it again, or so I think. It was light, pinkish, not even heavy enough to use a tampon, and it lasted 2-3 days. I also don't even feel like it will

What are the chances of becoming pregnant on the mirena coil? I have had it fitted for about a year now with no problems, dont really see periods either. I have felt and can still feel the strings so i know it is still there :-) For the last week have felt awful and sick constantly although we have all had a bug everyone else was over it a week ago so i cant see that it is still the bug. I am also still breastfeeding once a day and have had fertility problems in the past so this seems a millio

I dont know for sure if its no longer stuck to my uterus, im just paranoid. so i wonder, if it fell off my uterus and if just hanging out sitting in my cervix, will it still prevent pregnancy?

Had sex unprotectant 3 times in a week. Had Mirena removed 2 months ago. What are the chances that I could be pregnant??

Saturday night, my husband and I did the baby dance. We didn't use a condom, because I had the mirena. On Wednesday morning I had the mirena removed. I started taking birth control pills that night. The nurse practitioner who took the mirena out, said that my period would come as soon as it was out, but its Sunday now and still no period or cramps or anything. I know that sperm can live for up to six days, so my question is, since there was only four days between my activities with my husband

did you use or are you using mirena and what level of hair loss and weight gain did you experience if any? any other side effects for you?

I'm 17 and my mom and I were looking at birth control options. I don't want to take a pill because I won't be consistent with remembering to take it so I wanted something that is inserted and I can forget about and that lasts for a long time. So which is better and what are your experiences with either the IUD mirena or with implanon? Please and thanks!

Just wanted advice on when me & hubby should babydance. TTC baby #2. Since getting off Mirena Oct 2011, my cycle has been around 32-30 days each month. Have been taking OPK to help but may not take it this time and just let it happen. What target days should we baby dance. Also does checking your CM also help. Thanks

I had mirena removed removed 3 weeks ago, when my period are supposed to come ??

So I was wondering if having an std will affect the birth control mirena. Does it make it not work or will it be fine?

I've been on Mirena for almost a year now for both period reasons and for birth control. I have no children. Ever since I got it, my periods have been coming every 28-30 days. It was supposed to come last Monday but I havnt got it yet. Yes my boyfriend and I have unprotected sex. Should I be worried? Should I go get a pregnancy test to be on the safe side? Should I wait a little longer? Someone help please, I can use some advice.

I got Mirena removed about 4 weeks ago, and started birth control a week after. Didn't use any protection after the Mirena was removed. My husband and I want to wait, but it wouldn't be a bad thing if I got pregnant right now. Anywho, I've gained 5 pounds, I eat a lot more and have weird food cravings, constant headache, nausea all the time, have white discharge and I feel sleepy (like I'll pass out) 24/7.

So I would like to start off by saying my name is Samantha. I have a 3 year old daughter and I'm married, I'm 22 years old. I was on the birth control Mirena for almost 3 years. I just recently had it removed on January 25th. On the 28th I started my period. They advertise that you can start trying to conceive right away. My husband and I had made love Feb. 10th. I checked online to find my most fertile days and it says the 9th to the 12th of February. I was wondering if there is anyone who ha

I had sex jan 31, and on feb 9 I had brown discharge. Then the next day I had cramping on my right lower side, it almost felt like an ovarian cyst or period cramping. My period isn't due until mar 3. I have the mirena and it doesn't feel like it has moved or anything. Could that have been implantation bleeding or just spotting from mirena? I was also worried that maybe it got pushed through my uterine wall, but the pain only lasted about an hour.
