Merina Iud Feedback

You can get pregnant right away, but if you're trying to track ovulation correclty, you might want to wait out the first month because it might not give really accurate or normal results.

well, here's an update. i got my Mirena taken out in June. i asked to be put back on the pill so they put me on OrthoTriCyclen. They took the Mirena out on a Thursday and i started my first pill pack on the following Sunday. I had issues previously with the pill making me nauseated. It was to the point that even the thought of putting the pill in my mouth made me feel sick (due to that i didn't take my pills like i should have, which is how i got pregnant with my son, which is why my doc recommended Mirena and i got it in the first place).

about a week to a week and a half after i started my pills, i had some spotting for a few days and then it stopped. the pills made me feel nauseous just like they did before but i forced myself to take them every morning thinking i'd get used to them or something. i got to the end of the pack but no period came. i didn't start my new pack so i have been off the pill for about 2 weeks. still no period!

in the month that i was on the pill i gained about 10 lbs. i have decided to not take anymore and see if i get a period and if i can get my weight down. i'll see how it goes and update again later on.

I had my IUD removed on june 18th and the very next day I had a full period for 7 days. I went back in on June 30th for a full physical and blood work to see if I was healthy enough to conceive a child. Everything went well. I started immediately tracking my ovulation and I ended up having another period only 22 days later on July 9. It lasted 6 days. Still tracking my ovulation my husband and I have tried to conceive. I believe I maybe pregnant now. I have all the signs of a pregnancy but I have at least another week till I find out if I am. I will let everyone know if it is a positive or not. I hope this will help anyone who wants to know if it is possible to conceive immediately upon removing or if you will get a cycle quickly or not. thank you for listening

If nausea is your only problem, that can sometimes be solved by taking the pill at a different time of day- if you take it in the morning now, try taking it with dinner, or before bed.

But that doesn't sound like the only problem you've had with it.

I had Merina put in back in 2005 3 months after the birth of my daughter..... The procedure took no longer then 15 minutes and I was out the door. For me it was not painful at all just a little pinch when the was checking my cervix. After about 2 months I had no period and for those two months my period was lighter and shorter. Now I am one of those to whom Merina came out on its own with no reason that any can find. It came out in March of 2007. I have been tested for a number of different things to see why it came out and nothing has been found as to why..... I did not have any abnormal weight gain as some woman have said but I was in the army at the time too... I gained weight because of the working out every day. After I got out of the army I found myself actually loosing weight. I am one of those whom suffered from acne before Merina and after my face was very much clearer then before and I did nothing different with that so Thanks Merina for that one lol . As far as the bleeding after it is out I had no problem with heavier bleeding or anything like that my periods came back normal. I am going tomorrow to get it put back in.... I am sick of having a period... and my acne is back now so....



This works differently for every woman..... Not everyones body is the same. If you have sever complications from any birth control you might want to see if your body can handle estrogen... Some woman can not handle larger "doses" of Estrogen.




I do have one question though lol

How long after it gets put in do you have to way to have intercourse? Before when I had it I was not active with anyone so I didnt really care but now I am in an "active" relationship might be something to know lol

I have had merina for well over a year now. I am recently showing alot of pregnancy symptoms. The more i think im pregnant the more research i do and find out the pregnancy on merina is more common than anyone else thinks. I have a 17 month old little girl and to have another baby right now would be a bad idea... as i am just starting college. Just when i thought it was safe to use merina only, think again because i think im pregnant i took one test a week ago but it was only a week into the possible pregnancy and i show signs RIGHT away. Just be weiry that you CAN get pregnant if it moves!

When I was on Mirena I swore up and down I was pregnant but the doctor insisted I wasn't and tests revealed I was not. What my doc said happens is over time the hormones in Mirena decrease and even though they are still effective they can cause odd changes such as tender breasts, nausea, cramping, etc.

so im looking up anything i can find about this marina! i have had mine for 2 1/2 years and its been ok, no periods, but im feeling really dizzy and sick all the time sad and discuraged! could that be from the merina after all this time? and my pastor brought it to my attention that im aborting life everytime me and my husband have intercourse!!!!! WHAT! they never told me that, i have looked up everything and i dont see where it says that, they have good info on yahoo health, but i want some one elses opion! thanks

I have had the mirena for 4 years next month. I had it put in place due to heavy bleeding, 3 weeks out of every 4. It was painless to have inserted and I had slight discomfort for a couple of months while is settled down. It changed my life.

However over the last 18 months I have experienced discharge 3 weeks out of 4, discomfort and back pain, sore breasts, mood swings, my libido doesn't exist anymore, general unwellness and weight gain. I had a large polyp removed 3 months ago and I can no longer feel the string. A scan revealed the mirena was still in place.

I am now waiting for an appointment to see my gyno to have the mirena removed as I believe this is what is causing me so much discomfort.

Having said all that, it did change my life for a while and I was grateful.
