"please think carefully before you opt for the mirena. i was a healthy 26 year old who had no problems on microgynon however the doctors scared me into looking into progesterone only options. on insertion, it wasn&#039;t an easy in-out and i was screaming in pain to the point i almost asked them to stop. thinking this was normal, i persevered. afterwards i was in hysterics because the pain was so severe and lasted for a good few hours. after bleeding for 3 months solid i wanted it out. after numerous tests where they couldn&#039;t find it in my uterus, it turns out it perforated my uterus on insertion (appaz i have a forward facing uterus) and it is in my pelvic region. ive been told to think about a laparoscopy or whether to leave the bloody thing in"
