Having Mirena IUD problems

Hi all, I had a Mirena UID put in 2 months ago. It was extremely painful to insert and have had cramping, spotting for 2 months now. I am fatigued, and have cramps pretty bad every day since. also, breaking out. Supposedly the small amount of hormones in IUD does not evene enter the blood so how can it be so hard on my system?? Has anyone else had this problem. Thx. Lu

Hi eamom1, thanks for the info. Do you have Mirena too and have you had any kind of other side effects like skin problems or weight gain? My dr. wants me to wait a full 3 months before getting it removed, but please let me know what its like for removal, does it hurt etc???? I feel like I have had so much fluid retention since getting it, have you noticed a difference? Thanks so much... LuDee

i got mine removed today I would go to planned parenthood if you don't have insurance. It was 38.00 for removal and 23.00 for the visit and that is w/o insurance. I have insurance so i only paid a copay/ yeah my skin breaks out it stinks and bloating as well now that i think about it. It wasn't bad getting it remvoed a little discomfort but NOTHING like putting it in.
