"getting mirena put in was such a concentrated and intense uterine pain that i almost passed out right there on the gynecologist table. mirena was fine at first, but very shortly after i had it inserted, i started experiencing a thick, off-colored discharge, and an odor that would knock out mike tyson. i had it in for three months before i had it removed. the discharge and odor didn&#039;t go away for months. when i finally visited my gynecologist who told me i had gotten bacterial vaginosis. it was easy to treat.
