Wow, I wish I had known all of this before I decided to get Mirena. A few of my friends have had it and had no problems. Actually one got pregnant on it. I recently gave birth to my second daughter via c-section and I decided to get this device. The doctor said that it was fine to get it put in 4 weeks post partum even though usually it takes 6 weeks to fully recover from a ceserean. So I put my faith in him and got it put in which was painful. He had to open my cervix which felt like I was giving birth. My cervix was tight obviously because I neve dialated due to having a planned c-section. After it was put in I was dizzy, nauseaus, and cramped like crazy. I also bleed for 3 weeks after. The day of my followup, he did an ultrasound to make sure it was still in place. But he could not find it...at this point I start to worry. He sent me to the hospital for x-rays and determined that it had gone through my uterus. At first he thought it came out of my c-section incision. I immediatly remembered thiking it was too early to get this put in. However after the surgery we found this to be different. So he tells me that I need lapraoscopic surgery to remove it. Sounded like a simple one day surgery but that is not how it ended up. I go in for the operation on Monday the 25th, 2 months after just giving birth to my second child at the same hospital. Didn't think I would be back there so soon. So I go under at 9am and wake up at 3pm. Groggy and trying to awaken from all the meds I here the nurse tell me that I am staying overnight. I ask why and she tells me that they had to open me up. At this point I am in shock but too tired to ask questins. Later on they put me in a room on the labor and delivery floor and the doctor tells me that they had to make another incision going vertically under my belly button down to my c-section incision. So at this point I feel like frankenstein with all these scars. Well, he explains that when he pulled out the IUD I began to bleed and he could not stop it by lapraoscopy so he had to open me up. Apparently I lost alot of blood and alomost needed a blood transfusion. He also said that if he could not stop the bleeding he would have had to take out my whole uterus. Which is some scary shit!! Luckily that was not the case. However I still have a four inch scar and recover from. He also said that my uterus was so soft that the stitches werent staying in place thats why he had to open me up and try another way to stop the bleeding. But that is my story and I would never put another foreign object up there ever again!! I will never recommend Mirena to anyone! I want to find out how to proceed in filing a lawsuit because this has caused a lot of tramatic pain as well as physical. I also have to spend time away from work. If anyone knows anything please let me know!
