Hi, I have had my mirena IUD for about 5 months now. The insertion was very painful and and took a while to heal. I am fearing it might be embedded. I have had nothing but issues with it. My OB talked me into getting it because my periods were so painful leaving me making trips to the hospital. It has been more painful and miserable. I am getting this removed as soon as I can... but the problem is I just moved, have no family doctor, which means at least 2 months for my referral and appointment. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if this is an emergency matter. If I went to the hospital would any Doctors there be able to remove it? My friend (in a different town) got pregnant with the mirena in place. She could not wait a month for an appointment with her OB and had to go to numerous hospitals to find one who could remove it. Here are my symptoms...
nauseous often
pink discharge
spotting constantly throughout the months
bad cramping (worse than before)
cramps, every day... sometimes mild sometimes strong
high pitch pinching in right side
if i twist or move a certain way i have a painful pulling feeling on right side
random sharp pains in lower abdomin
long periods (15 days)
heavier periods
clots
i get my periods, but they aren't like my regular period. it will come and go as it pleases light then sudden bursts of cramping and bleeding... mostly clots
hot knives in back
hot flashes mixed with cold flashes
can't find my strings, but she did cut them very short (i'm not sure why)
i have had low grumbling noises from my lower abdomen (i didn't even know it was me at first)
