Cramping in left ovary/other symptoms

I have had a Mirena IUD for a little over one year. For almost two weeks, I've experienced pain in my left ovary, vaginal discharge, sore nipples, and dizziness when I stand up. The pain in my left ovary is a shooting pain that is on and off. Sometimes it is mild, while other times it is quite discomforting. My nipples have been really sore and seem bigger. The vaginal discharge is white and occurs on and off. Also, when I was having sex with my boyfriend a few days ago, I felt extreme pain in my left ovary. It hurt so bad that we had to stop.  I have no idea why I am having these symptoms with this IUD. I currently do not have health insurance and these symptoms have been worrying me. Can anyone please tell me what is going on?

At times it was very severe, but sometimes not.  She would still go to work and stuff, but she said that it hurt a lot, like she wanted to cry and sometimes did.  But everyone's pain level is different too.  I would go in and get it checked, it can't hurt and it's better than not going and something serious happen because of it.  I know that you don't have insurance, so I would just go to the ER and tell them what's happening, tell them you think it's that and for them to do an ultrasound or sonogram.  It's better to have a hospital bill and be in good health then to not go and suffer in the long run!!

did your sister-in-law experience severe pain? I don't think my pain is as bad as it would be if it had punctured through my uterus. It feels shooting at some points throughout the day, while at other times it is somewhat mild. The pain is definitely bearable so far though... do you think it will continue to get worse?

I would go to the ER as soon as you can.  My sister -in-law, and also another girl I just read her thread had an issue with the IUD puncturing her uterus.  In my sister-in-law's case it actually went ALL The way though and was on the outside, not just part of it.  Get in asap as this is NOT good if that's the case.
