Pain with intercourse with Mirena

Hi,


I'm new here. I have twins that will be 5 months old next week and had a Mirena IUD inserted about 2 months ago. I have had irregular bleeding which is annoying but I hear will go away. I have also had pain with intercourse since it was inserted. I am married, monogomous and about as sexually active as one would think a new mother of twins would be but it is extremely painful when it happens. The pain feels like it is deep inside, from my cervix possibly. I was reading about pelvic inflammatory disease and I have no other symptoms but is it possible to get PID and only have pain? Has anyone else experience this?


Thanks!

Laura

Hi Laura, welcome!

You should not be having pain from IC with an IUD inserted. Can you feel the strings? If I were you I'd talk with my doctor as soon as possible. As far as the irregular bleeding is concerned, that is quite common and will usually go away in time. Let us know what your doc. says, ok?

Hugs,

I can feel the strings. I had pain while I was pregnant too and I think at first I assumed it was leftover from pregnancy but now I'm begninng to wonder. I will call my doctor on Monday unless things get worse over the weekend. Could this be infection related?

Hi Laura,

It's a good thing that you can feel the strings. If the pain you are having is the same as you had when you were pg then I wouldn't think it is an infection. Your doctor should be able to tell you though. Is DH hitting your cervix? That can be painful.

Hugs,

I agree it's probably not the IUD if you had it during pregbancy also...sometimes my dh hits my cervix & it's slightly painful....I've had the mirena for 1yr now and basicly "spot" for a period now...((HUGS)) Hope things get better for you...congrats on the twins!
