My friend with the same probs swears by her mirena. I had mine it fitted at my GPs. Once fitted i could just about move & was excruciating pain, along with the pain i was bleeding really heavy. After 2 days i went back 2 the GPs as i could not cope with it. Rather than take it out there & then they sent me 4 a scan at the hospital, which showed that it was not fitted correctly & it had perforated my womb. I went back 2 my GPs where they removed it. This should of been done at the hospital.
