I'm 23, have Endometriosis, and had Mirena inserted 1 hour ago. Beforehand, I had 800 mg of Ibuprofen, and Valium. On my cycle, so cervix was slightly dilated.
It was the most painful experience of my life. Clamping of the cervix was uncomfortably, actual insertion of IUD was AWFUL! I've got a high pain threshold. For most women, it may not be too bad. Unfortunately, my endometriosis exacerbated the pain. I may not have screamed, but the nurses outside could definitely hear me! No babies 4 me!
In my personal experience yes. It took me a week or so for the cramps to stop completely. Keep in mind they got progressively less frequent. I still get them once in a blue moon now. I would not worry about a hole. If you do feel horrid pain always go back to the doctor, but if they are mild and tolerable then you are probably just experiencing normal pain.
I just had mine done yesterday and I'm still having cramps. Not bad but they hurt. I have a friend that had one and it ripped a hole in her uterus. I'm scared about that. But why do I still have cramps almost 24hrs at 10:40am. Is this normal?
i been on the iud for 11 yrs with out my period when i was younger i was on the depo shot when i was in my teens------- my daughter is 11yearsold i dont wont any more kids she is my only child the iud is painful i go back to the doctor real soon----i advise each young lady to wait to see what birth control is right them the iud is os freaking painful this is my third one
Well I I am pretty sure that I also said that everyone was different. If I did not I will say it now. I am sorry it was so bad for you, but I am sure that not every one has it as bad. For me it was great thing and has made my life much easier. I know in my own personal story it was not bad and I have no reason to scare people away from it. It has been over a year for me now and I feel very liberated. I have had next to none in side effects. Only problem I have is the very rear cramping.
i disagree completely with you saying 'they are in there out there done' i had my IUD fitted over a year ago. The day i had it done i fainted twice, i spewed i couldnt eat for a week, and releasing my bowls felt like i wash pushing a tenis ball through a hose pipe. For people that are thinking of using this contraception i suggest anything but this ! I go severe pain every month from my period and i cannot cope with it anymore, and will be having it removed this week.
I am getting the mirena IUD installed in 2 days. I am a little scared about the pain. I was prescribed cervix softener vaginal pills to take the night before the installation, do you think it will help with the pain?
@traumasavior you should be fine. The most painful part the getting the instruments past the cervix from what I have heard and felt. The softener should help with the pain. I know if I made it threw the pain with out that then you will be just fine with it . Don't stress to much cause the pain is fleeting If you can hand the pain for just a few minutes you will be fine. Good luck and just relax.
This is my second time on the Marina and the first time I didnt gain any weight I actually started to Lose the weight=) I have 2 little girls and it was still a little bit pain full for me but it subsided pretty fast! I have tried all the pills and I have also tried the patch and Have Gotten Migrains with all of them and found that The Marina I do not get Migrains with it and I actually feel healther with it probably because I dont feel so sick. I know that my period stopd last time I had it in!
Well everyone is differnet gailna26. I am sorry it was so bad for you. Not everyone is the same. Personally I love it. I have had no problems what so ever and feel great. I personally hated the pill. I could never remember it and it gave me Perma PMS. I was like queen bitch all the time. But then again I guess this is why there are so many forms of birth control out there. Not all types work for everyone.
I HATE the IUD. It was the worst form of birth control I ever tried and I regret ever putting my body through so much pain and discomfort for months - until I decided to have that junk removed. It was the worst pain I had ever felt when it was inserted I couldn't move, all I could do was cry as I was bleeding. For weeks after, I suffered indescribable abdomen pain to the point where I dreaded every speedbump and had trouble twisting my body without feeling sharp pain. The pill & Depo are better.
most women gain weight with mirena skinny girl saying this. now skinny girl with a little pot belly. my mirena has moved out of place gotta wait months until appt with specialist. been so sick i've been in bed since Nov its now June. I thought it was great because no period after 3 months been in 2 years occaisional spotting. But was told my problems not mirena related. Dont beleave that i think if if moves it makes you sick. I NOW HATE THIS THING AND WANT IT OUT NOW ! BUT NO GOTTA WAIT.
@shmacme I am sorry to hear about your problems with the Marina. I know that I have not found it to be true. I have gained some weight with the Marina in, but I still do not think it is the cause. I have noticed that I was eating more unhealthy food and I say that is to blame. I have also not been sick. I know that everyone is different though and I hope that you feel better soon. I don't think you have to wait if you want it removed I think you can if you go to your doc. Get better soon!
I have a merina for heavy periods which helps them but I am so freaked out by having a foreign body in my uterus. I can feel it sometimes but not painful. Just a mind block I have but my gyne says I HAVE to have it in:( it don't hurt and no period cramps but I don't like it just the same.
@grettagrids I completely understand! I know that I had some sever mental worries about the whole foreign object thing myself. I have gotten over them finally because It makes my life sooooo much easier. I hope you will see it that was eventually. My best wishes. Keep in contact.
No problem. I know that I was very freaked out before I had it done. This is why I decided to make these movies so that others could hear what my experience was like. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask them I would love to answer them for you
My appointment is tuesday and I have been really freaked out about this method from what most people are saying. Do you have a normal period now or is it irregular with spotting?
It is kinda irregular still, but for the first 3-4 months it will be. Please keep in mind I have never had a kid before so it makes it harder for my body to get used to a foreign object. This means it will take me larger to get to a normal period. Also check out IUD Divas they have a lot of good information on there.
I have but I do not think it has anything to do with the IUD. I also have Fibromyalgia and since this winter has been particularly hard I have been unable to move a lot. I think this inactivity due to pain is what caused my weight gain.
I 'm sooo glad that you didn't have a HORROR story to tell. Yes, it is painful for some women. The procedure is so quick . MIne lasted about the same 30secs to a minute, and WHALA! Done!
I'm glad you are doing fine. Your cramps should subside soon and the bleeding should stop too. Keep up with the pain meds if need to. Hang in there, you will be fine.
