IUD Mirena not in place
August 1st, 2010
Wondering if anyone else have had problems with mirena iud. i have had it for a year now and only had my period once. about six months ago i started getting headaches that feel like my head is bruised or swollen, nausea, dizzyness, my left eye goes black when i pick stuff up not everytime but most, very tired all the time, random sharp pains in my lower stomach. i have been going to my doctor to see whats wrong but all my tests have come clear so far. im wondering if this tiny little iud that i tought was the best birthcontrol could be causing the problems

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
The symptoms that you are having could be due to the hormonal content of the IUD. If your symptoms do not get controlled, you might need to get it removed and get started on some birth control measure with low progesterone content.
Maintain a good balanced diet and avoid caffeinated beverages. Discuss your symptoms with your gynecologist.
Take care.
