My Life with Mirena: The truth about living with an IUS

By Carol Taylor

I am not a medical professional. I am writing from my own personal experience as I'd like to share what I've gone through in case it helps someone out there understand that what they are going through is normal, and has happened to others. If you find that there is too much information for your liking, or if you find anything offensive, stop reading or skip that section. When I was trying to find out what was happening to me I wanted too much information. I wanted to read exactly what was going to happen to me, or what might happen, so that I knew what to expect.

Shortly after I had my Mirena IUS (Intrauterine System) inserted, I tried Googling certain things that I was experiencing as I wanted to know if it was considered to be normal. I came across many forums where women were complaining about their Mirena or had had theirs removed after only a few weeks, before the first three to six months were up. Only a few of the websites and forums that I came across gave me the kind of information that I was looking for. I wanted to read about someone's actual experience; what they'd gone through on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, what symptoms they'd had, how they'd felt after insertion, how their menstrual flow was affected, and any other side effects that they may have experienced. I wanted too much info with all the gory details so that I knew I wasn't alone.

My Life with Mirena is the raw, honest truth of what it's like living with a Mirena IUS.
