I had the Mirena put in 5 months after i had my son and I gained so much weight its been a year and 2 months since I've had it and i have horrible discharge and it smells really bad!!! i thought i had caught something too but I've talked to some people and they said Mirena does that too you im thinking about taking it out like i feel horrible all the time and im very very moody WHAT SHOULD I DO ???
i have had my IUD for 2 yrs!!! at first i had a lot of pain i went to my OBG and he said ever thing is fine don't worry (yea you say that because its not happening to you). after that i started to noetics a smelly discharge and had to start wearing pantiliners everyday!! and when i was having sex i had a lot of discharge its so embarrassing and smelly. my sex drive went down the drain then i stared to noticing a big weight gain. then i stared having acne problems something i didn't have problems as a teen!! now i'm having a brownish discharge and spotting all the time. this is not what i was expecting i am very disappointed. and cant wait to get it out! 2 yrs is a long time i just wish i would have got it out way sooner then this!!!
I had mine inserted Dec 14. It was painful but nothing too bad. After insertion I had some pretty intense cramping and spotting for the next few days. Then when it came time for my period I had the most insane cramps I'd ever had. I had really short periods before getting the Merena but this period lasted for 10 days. My second period wasn't as bad but I had random spotting for about 2 weeks afterwards. I just got married and I used to have a pretty amazing sex drive and it was never an issue climaxing now however my sex drive has lowered and I have had a hard time reaching orgasm. Its pretty embarrassing cause it never use to be an issue. My husband has been super patient with me and because of this having an orgasm is becoming a lot easier again. I have also noticed a pretty foul odor... I'm super self conscious about it and am worried my husband can smell it. I'm also freaking out a bit after reading all of these posts that I might have bacterial vaginosis or PID. I have also noticed that my breasts and nipples are super tender. Has anyone experienced that? I think I'm going to give this thing a few more months and see what happens before I decide to take it out. I love not having to worry about getting pregnant though.
Ditto on finding this sight.... i have been researching yellow vaginal dishcharge and have worked my nerves thinking some kind of cancer. i have to wear a panty liner everyday. i am so wet down there that the fat rolls between my vaginal become raw. lol. i guess that is because of the weight i have put on since having it it. i too am gonna have it removed. my husband and i are in our late 30's and i have two children and he has three. i sure dont want the Brady Bunch but i cant take this anymore
I had my IUD inserted as an emergency due to contraception failure, but i was also considering it anyway as it would be more convenient. Since having it inserted I've had a really unpleasant consistency clear discharge - apologies - but it is comparable to the consistency of the stuff that comes out of your nose when you're ill. is this normal?! i am getting quite fed up and worried - a few things come to mind and i panic that the IUD may not have done its job in the first place...
since having it out, did you get your sex drive back?
