Thread: iud problems!!!

HI,
I had a iud fitted over a year ago now. I got told that my periods will stop all together but spotting would happen now and again but ive always had the spotting. Last week i went for a smear test and they told me they would check for the coil first but couldnt see the strings the doctor and nurse both tried but it was very uncomfortable so they have booked me in the family planning to have it looked at but now im having achings and cramps down there and still spotting has anyone else had this problem. Im to scared to go to the hospital or anything as its really uncomfortable.

Here we go girls i have had both the mirena coil had it removed after 12 months as just bled the whole 12 months, then had nothing for 18 months body went back to normal had my little girl then had iud fitted, since then i have spent weeks on end blleding like i am dying terrible cramping pains and yes u got it constant thrush... Every time i go to the doctors they tell me its all in my head and i know its not because i go buy canesten combi pack at a cost of £14 ago and bingo it goes well for a week or so untill i bleed again though it was me using constant tampax for weeks on end through sheer bleeding but no it is the coil giving it to me but yes the doctors will not say it has anything to do with coil,,, i am grumpy and constantly tired as no iron in body and no sex drive and work as cabin crew so bleeding 3 out of 4 weeks is not good..... I again this week have been to doctors and health clinic and have no answer have read forums and seen many off u suffering the same rubbish so yes girls thankyou i am having it rmoved this week.... I could be a millionair if i had a £1.00 for everday i have bled or had vaginal itching again the doctors dont even consider it being the coil i was examined by one nurse who said i am a nurse u do not have thrush i said i can tell u i do i been suffering along time.... She said no u dont i just examined u ... Left feeling like i was mad and then went to my gp and insisted on some test yes girls as i suspected they came back saying i had thrush only ...... Life has been a and do u no i have got to the point contraception for me is over my husband is getting the snip halllaluha .... I can look forward to life again girls thinking of getting the coil .....dont do it .... I will let u know if once removed my symptoms go im sure they will ... Its not nice being made to feel like its all in ur head ...... Xxx
