IUD- Mirena discharge

[TR1010]

I have had a Mirena IUD for 2 years. The past 2 months I have had frequent watery discharge.  I went to the doctor and he said that the IUD can give you all kinds of strange discharge.  Is anyone else having this problem?

Supplemental: this is the first time ever since she got her Mirena IUD (a year ago) that I have noticed anything like that. Since then there has been such mucus present, but not at all smelly. So my suspicion arouse simply because this doesn't happen more often (from what I know)

Is my girlfriend cheating on me? A few months back, before intercourse, I noticed that she had a foul smelling odor coming from her vagina. Really repugnant (it didn't say that, I just said that I felt the smell of semen. Didn't say it came from her)

There was also a sperm-like discharge around the opening of cervix and in my hand it certainly looked like old semen! Perhaps more "sticky". On that day, we hadn't had sex for roughly 48 hours.

She has a Mirena IUD. From what I can tell of the commentators above, you are more likely to have a odorless discharge and if it is smelly, it is probably an infection - she doesn't have one.

I had the Mirena, It was fine for about 6 months then I kept feeling like I was getting pregnant. At first I had no periods, then light ones, then finally a Lima bean came out ... You could see it, I was very much pregnant but of course the doctors wouldn't say it was true due to rules of treatment and they didn't want a lawsuit to deal with. I kept bacterial infections if not yeast infections and a sore spot inside where it was. I only have one child and I do want more. I'm not sure that I can have them - I haven't tried, but my periods are completely irregular . It makes me very nervous. I do not have health care anymore so it makes it difficult to check things out but hopefully I will soon .
I would never recommend mirena.
On another note my close friend has it and has had no problems.

Unfortunately, no, I still haven't taken mine out yet.  But I am.  I never remember taking pills as scheduled and that's why the Mirena is best for me, but just last week, my tailbone pain started.  I said since I haven't had a cycle in 3 years, the pain was due to it being "that" time.  But didn't even consider it being associated with the Mirena.  And yes, I have been feeling the fluttering for years.  And it's funny because I thought the home pregnancy test was inaccurate.  I told my doctor, "I know when I feel a baby moving."  But again, I didn't associate it with the Mirena.  I hope my symptoms disappear when it is removed because I can't take the disgusting feeling anymore.

I've had my Mirena in for 2 1/2 years. I've also been experiencing the excessive discharge. I feel gross all the time and I agree it's embarrasing. Also, i've felt fluttering in my abdomen and have taken a few pregnancy tests which obviously came back negative. It feels like a baby moving, it's weird. Almost 1 year ago i was having extreme pain in my tailbone. I had all kinds of tests done but nothing out of the ordinary came back. I asked my OBGYN if my tailbone pain could be associated to my IUD. She said no. I know everyone who has commented has experienced all of the above symtoms but has anyone had the tailbone pain?? It has since subsided and I do still have the mirena in place but now I have constant discharge and it's really annoying. I've seriously considered getting it taken out. The only thing that's kept me from doing it is knowing that it's doing what I had it put in for. To all the women who've had the mirena taken out, have all your similar symtoms subsided after getting it taken out?

Thats exactly what is happening to me. Ive had mine 2 years December. Ive thought about getting mine removed, but Im 17 and my mom says I need it so I dont give her grandchildren... but I'm not liking the side effects and I may or may not be trying to have a kid. But what you explained has happened to me 100%...

I've had my second Mirena for 2 years now. My first was completely uneventful, but this second one...man, is it a pain with the repeated infections and discharge. Glad I read most of these comments. I have the same discharge; frequent, odorous...and many MANY UTIs as well as bacterial infections to the point where my urine contains white blood cells. They are about to send me to a renal specialist, but now I'm having it removed this month to see if things improve. We all know our bodies. My daughter has Mirena too and just came from the OBGYN with a suspected bad yeast infection, which prompted this search today. Nothing is worth this IUD. They must've changed it through the years. I'm 47 and my husband will gladly get a vasectomy; however for you younger ladies, please remove it and choose a safer method. Good luck to all.
