IUD'S are nightmares!! read before you get one
Some women have good luck with them however my story is no fairy tale.
January 2004 I had the Mirena IUD inserted. My doctor went on and on about how great this product was and that it was basically fool proof. Well from the get go I had problems. I had alot of pain in my back that was dibilitating and I had pain in my lower parts along with stomach pains. Every time I went to be checked out they said nothing was wrong with me. Over the next 2 1/s yrs I had the following problems which I believe to have been caused by the IUD. I had back pain, mood swings, hair loss, memory loss, seizures, vaginal cysts, constant urniary tract infections and yeast infections. I was sick alot and tired alot ( probably from all the things I was going through ) (by the way since removal alot of the side effects have dissipated) In may 2006 I started bleeding (which with the mirena you dont have periods) so I knew something wasn't right. So I went to the hospital and to make long story short I was pregnant with a tubal and had to have surgery to remove it along with a form of chemo to rid myself of the babies remaining tissue that was left in my tube. I almost died from internal bleeding and now my tube is so scarred making it possible I may not concieve again and I am only 23 yrs old. My whole story is on groups.myspace.com/IUDnot4ME . I urge you to join so that together we can share our stories and maybe bring some awareness to whats going on. I am even thinking about taking this to the media..something needs to be done and before you get an IUD please please research more. Even though some may have no problems, with everyone who does why take the chance!!!!!! please be careful what you put into your body!
