Help please. I'm getting really scared.

I have had the mirena now for about three years.  The last few months I have experienced bouts of severe pain in my stomach almost every day, breast tenderness, slight lactation, and this awful nauseous feeling (even though I have never actually thrown up).  I went without a period for three months and then suddenly had one at the beginning of February.  I felt better for a couple of days after that, but then everything came back.  Can anyone help me?  I'm really worried, but I don't have insurance and when I went to a free clinic all they did was give me a regular stick pregnancy test and tell me I wasn't pregnant.

With those symptoms, maybe you could have the mirena taken out as soon as possible to see if you feel better. I don't know if the mirena is the problem in your case, but it might be.

Here's my experience: I have had the mirena in for about a year and have episodes of nausea and stomach pain as well. It's never severe though. I also have this strange poking feeling in my uterus. Kind of like the mirena is pinching a nerve or something. I asked to have the mirena removed, but the doctor could not retrieve it. It turns out it has perforated my uterus and now needs to be surgically removed. I guess that's what all that poking was!

In my opinion, this is a very risky form of birth control which causes worrying symptoms in a lot of people.
