Mirena issues
I'm 27 and had a Mirena inserted over six months ago after very heavy periods lead to anemia and needing some blood transfusions. I had a lot of pain to begin with, couldn't walk without getting bad cramping and have had light bleeding almost continuously since having it inserted. My doctor keeps urging me to keep it in for a bit longer to see if it settles down, it seems like it's this or having a hysterectomy, which I'm not too keen on. I've had some ultrasounds to check if it's in the right place and everything seems to be normal. In the last month I've been getting extremely bad cramps, similar to when I first had it inserted. Yesterday I was having bad fits of cramps every seven minutes like clockwork for over two hours, as if my body was really trying to get this thing out. My question is, what would you do if you were me? I can't go back to having those heavy periods, I'm not ready to have a hysterectomy but I cannot go on living in pain and being afraid of moving. Has anyone else had a similar experience? What was your solution? Thank you!
