My experience with the Mirena IUD the last about 7 years has been hell on my body. When I first got it inserted (2015) after I had my daughter (2014), it turned me into a complete psychopath for almost 2 years. And then when I found out i was pregnant with my son the IUD had moved and was lodged in the left side of my uterus and my uterus was growing over the IUD.
I received the Mirena nearly two weeks ago. The pain of insertion was very similar to labor pains. It was intense and I was in shock after. Why is female pain ignored and disregarded as we'll get over it or get use to it?
If I could go back in time, I never would have received the Mirena. I sleep all day trying to heal from the surgery and the mental anguish this experience has caused. They found the device lodged between my rectum and uterus. Luckily it didn't perforate any other organs.
