IUD Mirena and Side Effects

I a 32 year old mother of 3... about 7 weeks ago I had the IUD mirena inserted.  Ever since then I have been bleeding non stp (heavy flow), I've had to go to hospital because of belly pains.  For the past two days I've been dizzy and even feel noxious.  My doctor keeps telling me it's uncommon but everything seems to be OK.  They checked my blood count and it was good.   I believe the Mirena is not right for me and that I am suffering from the isde effects.  Today is Saturday and they can only see me on Monday... I'm afraid that I am going to end up having complications because of the Mirena.  Has this happened to any of you?   What should I do?

no tests have been ran. i recently started researching the whole process and discussed it with my ob in nov and she recommended ivf if i only wanted one child and to consider reversal if i wanted more, she never mentioned running any tests or anything...the only thing me and my dh has done was get a sperm count.

It may but scar tissue has a tendency to build up. Have the doctor order an HSG to see if your tubes are open.

Mirena will not affect your fertility. However most times a tubal reversal does not work and many married couples have IVF in order to get pregnant.
