Danger signs with IUD- HELP!

[ShawnieLee]

I have had Mirena for almost 3 years... no problems, except for occasional ovarian cysts (which I got quite often before I even got the IUD) but all of a sudden my periods have stopped (since Oct) I have been cramping like crazy, my first thought it that I may be pregnant, well I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative (granted it was a cheapy) I have made an app with my OBGYN but they can't get me in for a couple weeks and I am starting to worry. I looked up danger signs with IUD and I have a few of them. Any idea's what is happening to me?!

Yes they did. Everything checked out okaybut I'm still cramping like crazy...

did they give you an ultrasound to make sure there was no damaged caused?

They got me in a lot sooner after I called back and insisted, my IUD has somehow managed to move over to the left, they are going to take it and out put a new one in. I am just glad I'm not pregnant or anything serious is going on!

if you have severe cramping go to the ER it is much quicker than waiting for your ob/gyn who is just gonna send you for an ultrasound and they would just do  it at the ER most likely... i didnt get my period when i had mine for 5 years but i did have what im guessing were cysts burst which is extremely painful... i was constantly going to my dr for ultrasounds cause of cramping

there are times where the iud can lodge into the uterus but that is rare... i think your periods have stopped from the hormones the cramping could just be cramping but you need an ultrasound to check the position of the IUD
