"my mirena was inserted less than a month ago. the side effects were okay initially with the cramping. i did have spasms in my rectal area. i had a follow up to check for the strings  and the strings could not be found. an ultrasound was completed and the iud was found out of place. i had to get an x-ray as well to confirm the position. now i have to have outpatient surgery to get it removed. i hoped that i wouldn&#039;t have to go through this. but i guess that i may have been at a higher risk since i&#039;m nursing. i will not use this again."
