i forgot to mention in my past posting that i have the mirena iud. I didnt know that this had anything to do with the lump in my breast but after researching a bit i found several women who have had healthy breasts until they recieved the iud. my first iud was placed in 2004 and i found a lump early in 2007. that lump came and went and was painful to touch. mammogram and ultrasound were negative. i found another lump about 4 months ago.
Bleeding after Mirena removal is usually a case of hormonal balance. When you suddenly remove the Mirena– the current source of external hormones– you deprive your body of its daily dose of levonorgestrel (progesterone).
This creates a state of hormonal shock, because now there is excess estrogen. It is this excess estrogen that ultimately causes the uncomfortable symptoms in your body after Mirena removal– including heavy, irregular vaginal bleeding and severe cramps.
I had mirena I'm a mother of 4 boys so I was done having kids after 9 moths with mirena I was feeling sick I went to see my doctor he couldn't find my strings he scheduled me for an ultrasound next day well he couldn't find my IUD but he found a baby !! I cried because I didn't want any more kids but I'm so happy now and finally is my girl we are so excited I love my boys and now with a baby girl we are complete !!!
I'm surprised now they are pushing mirena for those women who haven't had children. I just checked the Mirena website and I can't use it. "Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) is a hormone-releasing system placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for as long as you want for up to 5 years." It is a hormone IUD. So that's out.
So we'll see how long this period lasts. I'm wondering if I have fibroids which are causing the bleeding.
It's possible, however I think you have your birth controls messed up. An IUD is an intrauterine device, and isn't a shot. You can get either the Paragard or Mirena, and it's left in for 5 or 10 years depending on which you get. The only birth control shot is the Depo Provera. Usually after using this, you won't fall pregnant immediately. It can take 6 months to a year for it to fully leave your system.
Hi there,
The Mirena intrauterine device has been linked responsible for hypothyroidism, or a sluggish thyroid, that can lead to fatigue and weight gain by few women. Hypothyroidism is not listed as a side effect associated with Mirena and hormonal birth control methods typically do not affect the thyroid. It is best to consult a doctor and discuss your concerns. I sincerely hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
One question to ask is whether or not you are releasing an egg every month. If your periods are regular, then you are releasing an egg every month. If they are irregular, then you may not be. The second question is what your partner's sperm count is. The third issue will be answered by the HSG - are your fallopian tubes open. There is not one quick way to get pregnant. The approach to take depends on what the initial testing shows.
In addition, very few women were diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after they had Mirena inserted. They all attributed to the low dose of levonorgestrel contained in Mirena since breast cancer is a hormone-sensitive cancer. However, Mirena's hormone is very low dose and only supposed to affect locally within your uterus. It should not be circulated in your blood, unlike the pills etc. If not in blood, how can Mirena affect your body systematically can cause weight gain, or breast cancer?
I am pretty sure Mirena is a hormone releasing IUD, as opposed to a traditional copper one. I am not a doctor, but you may just have a comnination of slight inflammation from the actual insertion, and possibly some water weight if you are sensitive to progesterone or anything.
I would go back to your regular diet and exercise plan, try to keep everything else in your life as stable as possible and give it 10 days before you decide you have "permanently" gained weight.
It depends on which one you get. I'm getting the Mirena and they have to leave some of it out so your uterus doesn't absorb it. I think it's about 3mm that they leave out.
Hello,
Even if you are using Mirena which is a hormonal IUD(intrauterine device) but chances of conceiving are still there if there is any birth control failure . However to confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.
1) Does the mirena affect your immune system? I can think of no other reason that my outbreaks would increase and these "blisters" would show up. no diet or stress changes. I've also in general been getting sick more often, even my carpal tunnel has gotten worse, althought I'm not sure it's at all related. I dont want to jump the gun and have the mirena removed if theres nothing to support it affecting your immune system.
Hi everyone, new to the forum. I had my 2nd Mirena Insertion Thursday 16th July 2015. They removed the first one and put my new one in the same day. I had finished my period a couple of days before removal/insertion. However when 2nd was inserted I started bleeding. When i got home, I got cramping and more bleeding (which is to be expected). 1 week on Im still bleeding/spotting. My periods were all regulated and I didnt think that there would be as much spotting as there has been.
I had the mirena for 18 months. At the beginning I still had normal periods. As the months went on, the periods got lighter and lighter... the last 6 months, I had no period at all. I had it removed on June 1, 2009 and I was told that I would get a period shortly after. Well it is now 7 weeks later and I still have had no period. I have used the ovulation prediction kit and there is no sign of me releasing an egg.
I read with interest the article by Halmesmaki et al.1 that only 48.7% of women randomised to the levonorgestrel (LNG)-releasing intrauterine system Mirena, kept it in situ until their 5 years follow-up visit, while the rest either had it prematurely removed (8.5%) or underwent a hysterectomy (42.7%). It supports the growing evidence that women’s satisfaction with Mirena (Schering Health, Newbury, UK) is limited. I do not find this surprising.
So I have had mirena for almost 5 years now.l in the begging of last month I stared my period. It lasted for about 5 or 6 days. Fast forward to two weeks later and I am bleeding again. That again lasted about for about another 5 days. Now I am bleeding again about another two weeks later.
There is little to no cramping when I bleed and no other symptoms. No foul odor or anything like that so I don't thinks its an infection. I also took a hpt and that was negative.
