They advise you not to drive home yourself, but I remember I did.Reckon it's safe enough to drive after first fitting? Pain wise?
Yes, mine took a good 6/7 weeks to return back to normal.Hey I was wondering if anyone has had the coil removed and how were your periods after?
I had the mirena coil removed 5 weeks ago and have had nothing no withdrawal bleed, cramps or anything. Did anyone else’s periods take a while to return?
Have you had an ultrasound to confirm placement? If not, see if you can get one via your GP (who whoever fitted your Mirena). Maybe being shown it is in correctly would help reassure you? Have you checked for your strings recently?I hope someone can help me with some advice please! I had my Mirena fitted back in June and it took a little while to settle down. We have not had sex since because now that it HAS settled I’m petrified of dislodging it or causing any more discomfort! Is that even possible?! Even though I know it’s a form of contraception and therefore designed for people having sex, I’m just scared! Any advice or reassurance would be gratefully received
Thank youHave you had an ultrasound to confirm placement? If not, see if you can get one via your GP (who whoever fitted your Mirena). Maybe being shown it is in correctly would help reassure you? Have you checked for your strings recently?
Also remember the Mirena has a dose of hormone too, so whilst placement is very important, there will also be progesterone acting locally that will thicken your cervical mucus, cause instability with your uterine lining so it's harder for an egg to implant and potentially prevent ovulation itself.

Got it! Thanks for clarifying. I had a lot of cramps the first few months I had the Jaydess (the lower hormone version of Mirena) so managed them as I did my previously bad period pains but that was accompanied by bleeding. As far as expulsion/implantation risk, the risk is greatest when it is first inserted, within the first three months.Thank yousorry I should probably have explained myself more, I had it fitted for endometriosis pain not for contraception (my husband has had a vasectomy). So when I meant I feel scared, it’s regarding further pain not getting pregnant! I did have it checked by my GP after 6 weeks and all was ok, I’m just such a worrier too many years of endo investigations have left me anxious about the slightest pain!
Random - but I’ve just been referred for a MRI after finding a 13mm mass in my liver on my ultrasound Monday. Hopefully it’s a haemangioma, did you get diagnosed by MRI?I'm in my 3rd Mirena coil. On the whole it's been great but quite painful having it in or changed. Settled down in a few weeks. Unfortunately the painkillers I was given on the 2nd time , given that I was already constipated, stopped my bowel function completely and I ended up in hospital with a blockage. They also discovered a haemangioma on my liver which I was told could have been the result of taking the contraceptive pill or maybe even the first Mirena. But all a haemangioma is, is a mass of tangled blood vessels. There are no symptoms and it won't do any harm or grow unless I were to become pregnant again, so it's not a case for worry - just sounds worrying when you're first told you have a "non cancerous tumour" on your liver, but once you know what it actually is, it's more reassuring. I got the coil to avoid becoming pregnant so fingers crossed it continues to do its work! No periods, just the odd bit of spotting. I find I spot more when I'm extra stressed, strangely enough. The coil doesn't agree with everyone I guess, but I'd urge giving it a bit more time and then deciding.
