I got my IUD (mirena) inserted in November. Because i was 23 and had never had a child my doc was worried my body would reject it but everything went smoothly and it was a great success.
Since i got the IUD i have not gotten a period. I thought I would lose weight since I am exercising, eating a lot better etc, but instead i gained extra pounds. Now i am losing by hair; i have a huge bold spot (6x1.5 inches). I also developed this pain in my abdomen (like ovaries) and in my back (like if it were the kidneys). It was sporadic so i thought it was just gas and the pressure it caused. But it's been constant today and its hurting more and i feel like it's something inside me. Could it be that my IUD shifted and thats what's causing the pain. It's sharp and i can feel it inside of me.

Could all these problems be attributed to Mirena? Should i get it out? Please advise or let me know if any of u have experienced something similar.

Hi iv_leidy and welcome to the board.


It surely sounds like your body isn't liking the IUD very much.
