Help - Iud And Pain Posted: 09-04-07 19:15pm
I had a c section about 8 weeks ago. I had
a mirena IUD put in me about a week ago.
Today I felt an extremely sharp pain that
felt as though a bee was stinging me in
the uterus. The pain was definitely in my
uterus. I called the doctor and the nurse
stated that if it happened only once she
was not concerned. She told me to feel for
the string. I tried to find it but can't
locate it. I haven't tried until now to
even touch the string so perhaps it's
there but I just can't feel it. I also am
on my period. At least I am hoping it's my
period and not perforation of the uterus.
I haven't done anything extraneous which
would cause perforation. I was actually
just sitting down when the intense pain
came over me. I felt a bit of the stinging
sensation about five minutes ago, again.
It is past office hours and currently it's
not bad enough to go to the emergency
room.
Help
....Added - found the string but still
worried.

That actually is vaguely normal and should
go away. Keep in contact with your doc
about it if it doesn't.
I had sharp and unbearable, (like down on
the floor) pains like that a couple times
a week for months. It was horrible. But
it's not like that for most people. It
should go away or they should be able to
do some adjusting. But don't put up with
it too long like I did, I should've made
the doc fix it because the doc who took it
out said it was probably in wrong.

Thanks for responding. I am wondering if
mine was put in wrong or slipped. I can
still feel the string but the pain is
sometimes unbearable. I am actually scared
to have sex and my husband refuses until
we know what is going on. Which means I
need to run to the doctors and find out
what is going on....tomorrow...morning!!!
I do have an extremely low tolerance for
pain but this sharp pain is different from
anything I have experienced. I am so glad
that someone else can relate. If it is in
wrong, could it cause a perforated uterus?
The chances of getting pregnant are higher
if it is in incorrectly, right? I really
couldn't imagine getting pregnant after
just having a baby. I am sometimes a
hypochondriac. It probably just needs
adjusting. I don't know if I am having my
period or if it's bleeding from the
Miranda. I am going on day 5 of off again,
on again bleeding.

The bleeding is very likely from the IUD.
That shouldn't worry you.
But yes, if it's not in place correctly,
you are at risk for pregnancy. If the doc
thinks that might be the case, they might
do an ultrasound to be sure of the
placement.
I don't know for sure, but my doc said
that a perforated uterus wouldn't cause
pain because there aren't nerve endings in
the uterine walls... you could just tell
if the strings were gone. That's probably
not the case for you.
But like I said, don't let them blow you
off! It may take a while for you to be
comfortable, that is true. But don't do
what I did and let it go on for months and
months. I was miserable that whole time!!!
my dr or the nurse informed me as well
that infection can cause cramping and
pain. Because its a foreign body in your
uterus , it could either be placed in
wrong or your body might be trying to
reject it. I jsut had the mirena IUD put
in this past friday. I havent experienced
any sharp pains at all.

Mirena Iud Posted: 11-24-07 20:14pm
I had a Mirena put in me 2 years ago , the
first 2 week or months I'm not sure which
I had really sharp pains , like maybe a
shock in my lower stomache area , dr. said
it was a usual side affect and it should
go away before to long
