I got my Mirena inserted three weeks ago. I took a 800 mg Motrin an hour before. I was fine. No pain. I’m on spiro for any acne if I get any. I have PCOS.
I have pcos please tell me if this helps pcos.
So far it’s help regulate my period. It’s lighten it. I’m hoping I won’t have a period soon.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I actually took spironolactone too!
I almost shit on the gyno out of a double burst of pain ram rodding my body
Glad u mentioned that you’re on spiro as well... I’m considering the Kyleena iud in the new year and I wonder if I can request spiro as a preventative measure...?? I don’t suffer with acne and I’d like to stay that way and be protected all at the same time
Very informative and glad you got straight to the point. You covered all of my concerns... thanks!
Thank you for the positive review. Their aren’t enough out there !! I get mine 2/22. Just had my paragard removed and need contraception as well as help with excessive bleeding.
Omg thank you ... you are giving my hope! I got mine inserted In early December and its my first form of birth control. I was really rethinking my decision after all the bad reviews, I’m mostly scared about possible weight gain and hair loss, this video really calmed me down!
Mamobo Ogoro me too, I am about to get it soon. I’ve never been on birth control before . We are gonna be ok
Mamobo Ogoro I’ve had mine for a year now and it was HELL during that time!😂 I bled for a over 6 months! And my acne was horrible! I’ve never had acne problems! But now after a year it’s ok. 🤷🏽♀️ I still have a period minus the cramps because now I don’t have them. But give it a try
How has it been
any updates?:-)
Thank you for makin a video about this.
I had my mirena put in 8 days ago. I cant wait for the 6 month mark my fingers are crossed that I stop getting my period I also have endometriosis
Wow you're so pretty! That lip color on you is a perfect choice 👍 thanks for giving me an idea of what to expect from my birth control choice 😊
Nice….I’m getting one very soon and I am let me tell you extremely extremely nervous about this pain. Thank you for easing my mind just a little bit.
Got mirena again today. I've had 2 of them and given a vaginal birth. It is easier once you've had a baby. Nothing compares to the pain of childbirth though!!
I agree
I’ve literally had the same experience! I was actually thinking I was going to passout when I had mine put in, and i was pretty anxious the first like 2 months. I’ve had it for about 3 years now and I’m not going to lie i’m nervous to have it taken out though🥲
Can l just say you are absolutely stunning!
I think Mirena is also one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself! I've only had mine a month but I hardly notice it.
That's what I thought at first the six months was ok than I started getting severe migraines ,cramps than acne and finally I got drepession (suicidal) but my doctor would say it wasn't the iud ( mirena ) I was so young and there wasn't a lot of side effects from woman (reviews) at the time so I live with it for 4 for years until I finally decided to take it out my doctor didn't wanted but I insisted best decision I ever made. 10 yrs later I still have some side effects from it like chronic pelvic inflammation that's one of the main side effects my sister in law had it too same thing happened to her and similar side effects , pay attention to your body for side effects and don't wait until is too late. blessings
@@griselgomez1 I’ve never heard a doctor tell a patient NOT to remove a contraceptive device if the patient is specifically telling them to. That’s strange, I’m sorry you had that experience. Every woman I know that uses this particular contraceptive has nothing but great things to say about it. Everyone’s body is different. 🤷🏽♀️
I had my Mirena fitted today as part of HRT. The worst pain ever!
I've had no kids either so maybe thats why it was more painful. It has definitely scarred me for life xx
Omg Maashallah you're are so freaking pretty
Hey boo! Thank you for shedding light on the IUD. Can I ask you, if you experienced vestibular migraines, tinnitus, vertigo, and ear fullness? My mom has been experiencing this for almost a year and no help from any specialist.
I have one had alot bleeding but I suffer from PMDD my doctor recommended it . I am waiting it out hoping it will improve my situation . Thanks for sharing your very beautiful person by the way .
I received my first iud (mirena) on Dec 8, 2020.
I never had a kid and I was not on my mensies. The experience was painful and I could understand why women who get it cry or decide to opt out of it. I held my breath for a moment but was told not to because I could pass out. The pain was horrible and was told if the pain didn’t subside to take Tylenol. Once completed the pain was over with. The first ramp was so intense while being inserted, the second one not so bad and the third one I could barely feel. I noticed a few days I was having bad cramps to the point where I was in the fetal position with a heating pad. I was moaning and cried for a second and then reminded myself it was mind over matter. I’ve been having sharp pains and had my checkup appointment just a few days ago. I have to get an ultra sound on the 20th to see if my iud shifted which we think did. If it did, I’m thinking of trying again or my options were the dupo shot, progestin pills or nexplanon. My mood has been cray cray especially at one point. Depressed, anxiety and moody and aggressive(to the point where I would be ready to fight). I honestly think it’s from the birth control. If I have to get it removed I’m def going to try nexplanon next.
I got my mirena 6 weeks postpartum. I had the copper IUD before I had gotten pregnant, the copper one is the worst one to get, terrible cramps and heavy bleeding plus irregular bleeding. The mirena IUD is so far so good, at the moment I'm spotting but the doctor said spotting should go away after around 3 months and soon after that my periods will stop.
Thanks for sharing your experience!!
i got mine replaced again recently after around 3 and a bit years, I think it stopped working for whatever reason, so now have to go through readjustment again!!! holy crap so much is happening to my body. I have endo so i have really no choice about having an IUD. Thanks for sharing.
I have PCOS so my endocrinologist has been telling me to get a Mirena for a couple of years. Hearig about the pain of insertion has always stopped me. After a coupe of years of being a scaredy cat I just agreed to get a Mirena on Oct 17th, provided I get general anesthesia so I am fully knocked out lol. My Endocrinologist and OBYN agreed and decided to turn it to a hysteroscopy during the insertion process so as to include general anesthesia to kill two birds with one stone so now I feel relived. My fear was the pain and having the option of anesthesia really calms me, so ladies if that's one of your fears please talk to your doctors about either local or general anesthesia too, it's a bit unusual but I think it's unfair to be dismissive about pain and there are options, and btw none of this is costing me anything extra or really anything at all either so please, please for anyone reading this always talk to your doctors about your fears because there's always a solution :) Anyway hearing your story makes me feel eve more relieved. Thank you so much! Much love from a viewer in New Zealand.
Also unrelated but I love your lipstick and eye shadow so much, if you don't mind me asking what shades are you wearing? :)
Did you have breakthrough bleeding aswell? Do you mind sharing what side effects you experienced? I have pcos aswell and my obgyn has talked to me about getting one inserted, your response will be highly appreciated
Thank you for the video! I was thinking about using it because I also have chronic migraines and use an injection for them but my periods are very painful because of my endometriosis! I was looking for someone that also had migraines and now you convinced me, I will give it a try!
Hi, have you tried it and what's the update? I have endometriosis and having the mirena inserted today. I have the same concerns.
I’ve only heard that Liletta lasts only 3 years due to the how hormones, it is shown in the info straight from Bayer. The other 2 IUD’s from Bayer (Kyleena and Mirena) both last 5 years.
Also I’m sorry that your pain was so bad initially. I think It’s very subjective on which doctor you go to, many of them don’t do the cervix widening pill thing, and mine didn’t give me that and only suggested I go in with taking ibuprofen beforehand
I like ur hair and makeup!
I love Mirena IUD first 3 months was bad after that I loveddddddd 😍😍😍😍 I’m so glad I find the best birth control after 3 years trying everything
Thanks for the info😊
Oh my gosh! I got mine about 3 months ago and you’re so right it was one of the WORST EXPERIENCES IVE EVER HAD! I cried for about three hours after it and like, I’m not really a sensitive person so it was just weird. I’ve never had a child as I’m only 18 but I’m glad to know I wasn’t being over dramatic. I went into it being told “discomfort” so I was very underprepared for what happened and was just doubting whether I was overplaying the pain or not. But I legit fear child birth so much right now!
I'd love to ask you, as I get the kind of hell periods (cramps, passing out, vomit and migraines!) I've got a tilted uterus, so... I see this helps some ladies. I wanted to ask how it's effecting the migraine issue? Mine are dangerous too. Thanks! Audrey
Getting the iud was worse than having my kid. I was puking all over the place 😅 I liked my iud but now weird things are happening and idk if it’s iud related or what so happy you said the second iud wasn’t bad at all because I’m thinking about just taking it out for a month or so then getting it again
Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
i’m getting mine tomorrow and have been a little *terrified* because of all the horror stories of the pain during insertion, and even the possibility that i can bleed for 3-6 months straight till my body adjusts. Even the weight gain or acne symptoms. i’ve always had pretty easy and light periods so idk what’ll change after.
my OB prescribed me misoprostol for the night before and a 2nd pill a few hrs before the insertion to dilate my cervix, and i’m gnna take some ibproufen before hand to hopefully prevent any excruciating pain.
but i’m glad i found this video, it reassures me that maybe it won’t be as bad as i’m thinking it’ll be.
how was the insertion for you?
Did your period ever stop completely? If so, how many months into being on Mirena? I personally have horrible period cramps and they’re heavy as well, Im hoping to stop my period COMPLETELY. Thanks in advance!
I have had a c section and i also have had 3 spinal cord surgery. The iud insertion was EXTREMELY painful. I also had have a vulva hematoma. She dilated me there. But yes. Painful. Im on day 4 horrible acne and bad migraines. But no bleeding at all so far. My friends who have had vaginal births said it was equally as painful getting it in.
Did the migraine headache go away after how long
I got my mirena 7 weeks postpartum and it hurt me pretty bad . Cramps were completely terrible headaches were terrible. It feels nothing like child birth but it definitely hurts bad .
I didn’t have any pill or cervix freeze when they put in my murina IUD....
I had two kids naturally one ended up being an emergency csection when it was time to push but I’d take natural child birth over getting an IUD in. I was sweating it was terrible.
I just got the Mirena IUD inserted today and let me tell you....
It really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, and I didn't have any numbing or pain killers! I literally was really scared coming in since I didn't take any pain killers, but apparently my cervix was very nice, straight, and dialated (ovulating) and I was lucky to have 2 women take care of me in the process. One of them was telling me step-by-step of what was going to happen to me as they were doing the procedure on me. They even told me that at anytime I had pain, I can stop the procedure. I didn't even have numbing done on my cervix! If I were to rate my pain for every procedure:
-cotton ball being rubbed on cervix: 5 or 6/10
-inserting measuring instrument for uterus: 7 or 8/10
-inserting IUD: 8 or 9/10
**My
pain tolerance is very low (I cry getting a flu shot), so this was
actually a tolerable IUD insertion for me. I also think I just got very
lucky having 2 doctors take care of me, which made my experience
infinitely better! I highly recommend doing the IUD since the pain is so
brief too! Hope this helps~
Daryl Bianca i’m so terrified to get mine and i have a medium pain tolerance and this helped me calm down my nerves about it. thank you
How long did the cramps last? I got mine today and I’m having cramps 😭😭😖
Same I had a similar experience! They forgot to give me the meds for cervix dilation so I went in with no meds. My doctor even was surprised I got through it. Didn’t scream just cried a little and they had me rest for like 10 minutes. After that I went straight back to work LOL
@@chulaloveshaters how has yours been so far ? i’m getting mine in 2days !
Hi..you and me same problem..i have mirena from this april now is august still have minstration but little blood at pain my boobs im thinking better remove this mirena because never stop blood
I haven't had a child, and they also didn't give me the pill to dilate, or any medications. It was PAINFUL. I've had it in for nearly 3 years now, but I'm getting it taken out in a few days because of complications. I have the Mirena.
what complications did you have?
I just got Mirena the insertion wasn't that bad only when they did the measuring
Have you had kids?
Oh that's awesome! Glad you didnt have a bad experience.
The measuring I couldn’t even feel, but she used numbing, the IUD insertion was mildly crampy
Also i went on day 5 of my period so my cervix was open
They use to do IUDs only on period, I don’t know why they stopped
Ofcoarse some thing being pushed in a tiny hole is going to be painful
I got mine on friday and for me the pain was hell cause i have endometriosis lets just say i told my doctor i don't ever want it again
Im really scared about getting the Mirena. The pain of inserting it scares me but also potential weight gain or bad skin. But my periods are so awful every month. I absolutely hate them. My cervix hurts during every period and the pain of my cramps and the heavy bleeding just knocks me out for days at a time. Do periods get bearable?
I got an appointment tmr. But I am going to hospital. My doctor decides to give me a surgery in case that is too pain for me. Hopefully, I will feel nothing once I fall in sleep.
this is good to know thanks u look like model
What did you do to help control your acne?
I’ve been taking spirnolactone for 6 months now so maybe that will help my skin
Do you still have migraines after getting the IUD?
Why didn’t you have the new IUD placed when the first one was removed?
I just made an appointment to get a Mirena after having had a copper IUD a few years ago. The copper one was so, so awful. My periods were 10 days long and my uterus ached constantly throughout the month. I kept waiting and waiting hoping it'd settle in but I had it for almost a year and it never did. Fingers crossed the Mirena works out better.
So beautiful
i just got my first one inserted today and it was HORRIBLE. the pain was so bad i threw up everywhere and passed out twice. i literally was screaming at the top of my lungs. hopefully it was worth it.
Was it worth it?
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you're feeling better.
Thank u for making a dental implant not seem so tragic
I had mine december 2022 ....now we on March im feeling dizzy ,headache and sometimes vommit will all this go after 6 months please rply
Have you ever had your mirena migrate? I've heard people say it happens. I'm nervous because I'm getting mine on Tuesday.
Dealing with magrian headache 😫 😩 😒 and dizzyness hopefully those side effects after 6months der will go
I asked to be put under for my second IUD. I thought I would die with the first one I had inserted.
I Can't Stand It My Bad Unhealthy Birth Control IUD Sides Offies Anymore As Well After I Stil Got Sick And Having Trouble From Bad IUD Birth Control For Very Long Time Still Today As Well
So I just got mine put in yesterday after being in birth control for 3 years I tried over 5 different kinds because none were right for me. I got headaches, dizziness, motivation loss to work out and bad mood changes. I wanted to try the Mirena so I don’t have as many hormones affecting me and making feel like crap. I was in so much pain getting it in and all day yesterday afterwords I felt like I couldn’t even stand I am so sore and crampy. Today is day 2 I am still on and off bleeding and didn’t have cramps all day but now tonight they are getting bad again. All I keep seeing are videos saying the negative effects and I am starting to get freaked out and regretting the decision. I am breaking out and never really break out and am so bloated. All of the videos i see say that the women lose their sex drive and become very depressed and gain weight! Have you experience any of these especially the loss of sex drive?! That scares the s* our of me! Im 19 and am doing this mainly for me and my bf but I am getting so discouraged and feeling like nothing will ever work for me!!
this is me right now!!! did you ever get any better?? i’m freaking out about it and i’m three days in. Cramps are crazy right now and I’m only seeing bad :(
Did you experience any mental or mood changes with the IUD?
In the UK we dont have a pill first. They spray with a numbing substance. My insertion was good and i didn't have any bleeding or cramping. I've never had a baby.
I have my appointment later today, ill ask if they have a numbing substance . I hope they do here in canada 🤞
Omg you are beautiful
I just got my mirena today and I’m having bad cramping 🥴
How long did the cramps last ? ☹️ I just got mine in today I have a very low pain tolerance so the cramps are pretty painful 😭
Omg i got my nexplanon removed today , and they inserted my iud too . The cramps have not let up , and I’m still in so much pain
I’m getting mines next week, I’ve been on Depo for a while and I don’t get my period. I wonder if I will get my period with this iud? Everybody’s body is different of course I know this Depo has made me gain a lot of weight does Mirena make you gain weight?
Yes it does .. I fluctuated over the past couple of years
My skin has never broken out. That's the only part I don't like.
You're lucky yours never broke out. Mine did for sure haha and the second time around too.
Does it make you dry
It’s a painful AF experience!! I’m taking mine out after wearing it for a total of 12 years!!! Im just scared about the possible effects.. I had an ovarian cyst- I believe it was due to the Mirena
Probably because you had it in for 12 years??
Olivia Overholt I changed it every five years per the guidelines but I didn’t end up getting rid of it because I don’t know how my body will respond
wait I am SO scared of getting an ovarian cyst, and I didn’t know that Mirena could cause that. Would love to know more about your experience if you’d be willing to share
What about spotting
Listen, if you haven’t had a child and you think this was extremely painful...? Whew. I’ll pray for you😅, had my baby girl 7 weeks ago and man....it was a powerful experience!
I've had mine for almost 4 years and LOVED it. Up until about 6 months ago, and I've been getting a lot of acne around my chin and neck, super tired all the time. Anyone else have side effects well into having it?
Yeah! Within 6 months I've had acne that I dont usually have. Bad pain from time to time. And can not lose weight AT ALL!! the weight creeps up!
Nicole Bee me too I’m thinking of taking it out after three years
I also get weird throb pains around my ovaries. I've had 2 doctors tell me there's nothing there and keep telling me it's a bad idea to remove it🙄
@@mendozamaritza737 I've had it taken out March 24th, and I've lost 4 pounds from today. I've been exercising 4 to 5 times a week, eating better! ( to be honest I havent did a 360 because that's unrealistic for me!) But I feel more energized, and more self confident, the inches are changing but not the pounds just yet!!
That's just my intake on it, hopefully I'm not alone!
@@stephanieromero6495 yes!! I did to. They would randomly come and go. But one time it hurt so bad where I had to stop what I was doing at work and bend over just to ease the pain😫 once I got it taken out, I had my period right away, and never hurt again.
first six months is bad? damn okay. i was ready to take it out and im on my sixth month, so let’s see.
It’s been almost 5 years and I’m still in pain getting my second one out in next year but I don’t think I want too 😔😫
@@sarahssweetooth7418 so it's been painless and period less those entire five years?
Wait till your 50 years old and get the iud in. I had to vomit and lay there for about 45 minutes inbetween passing out. I gained weight in fat and water for 19 pounds in 12 days!! Four months further, nothing helps, so it's going out!!
It doesn’t feel like a prick... it fucking hurts putting it in to the point I was sweating. I’ve had it for almost two years and I just wanna get it out. I gained weight, acne, migraines, Weird shocks In my uterus, Painful ass cramps... LIKE PAINFUL. Sex is great when the string is cut all the way down. Emotionally it’s okay but I do go back and forth with that. My boobs hurt and I don’t bleed.
Ohhh no!!! Hooefully you took it out. I had a super bad experience with a different kind similar to you. Thank you for feeling open enough to share your experience. I'm really sorry all that happened to you.
What is your ethnicity if you don't mind? It's for sure a winning combination! 💯
Thank you!! I was raised thinking I was black and still say that! Ancestry results came back as half black half white and a bit Nepalese! Thank you!
@@MariahNavit I honestly thought you were southern Indian. You look like my Tamil friends!!
Mariah Navit 😂
I'm from South India and look a lot like this lol
This made me scared to get it
Dont be scared! I had it tor 5 years. I just wanted to give a real video expressing the positives and negatives. Everyone has different side effects.
You are so beautiful 😍
Thank you!!
I got Mirena iud in October 5/5/18 2018
Wow you look like you didn’t put on any weight.
I have been musing my hair like crazy and daily headaches. I got Mirena 6 weeks postpartum. Getting removed in July, only 10.5 months after placement
Is an IUD dependable?
More dependable than a seatbelt in an head on collision
I’ve been constantly bleeding since I got the copper IUD inserted.... that’s normal right?
Are you still bleeding?
No, it's not normal. I didn't have spotting at all...it's only supposed to happen once in a while.
I get muscle cramps and neck pain since my mirena insertion 4 months ago
Oh no. Not good. Thanks for sharing your experience though
I’ve got news for you: I’ve had three children. It still hurt…
Child birth is waaaaaaaay more painful darling 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Achieng Lilian literally just had a baby two months ago and I just got one today and I didn’t feel it at all lol
Achieng Lilian it’s actually very comparable just doesn’t last as long
The pain ain’t even close to having a kid lol 🙄
Well, duh.... It can be "the most painful" to women who haven't had a baby or their cervix jammed open. The first time _is_ painful af.
But go ahead, keep rolling your eyes; it shows compassion and empathy.
Never had children haha and dont wanna imagine the pain! You're definitely right.
Ivana Tinkle lOl it’s not jammed open , it’s like getting a pap smear which every women gets even if u never had a baby. But yes it’s VERY uncomfortable, and some women are more sensitive than others. And yes gives a lot of cramps but ain’t close to having a baby 😄😘
Yeah childbirth is a million times worse than getting an iud lol.
MOONTree i have a child and it felt like a early contraction honestly and ive had multiple spinal cord operations so my pain tolerance is high. But it did hurt bad getting it in
she's right! i just put my first mirena last week, and i'm having cramps every single day, dude 🥹
but i know this will be worth it when the 3 first months ends
I just got the Mirena IUD inserted today and let me tell you....
It really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, and I didn't have any numbing or pain killers! I literally was really scared coming in since I didn't take any pain killers, but apparently my cervix was very nice, straight, and dialated (ovulating) and I was lucky to have 2 women take care of me in the process. One of them was telling me step-by-step of what was going to happen to me as they were doing the procedure on me. They even told me that at anytime I had pain, I can stop the procedure. I didn't even have numbing done on my cervix! If I were to rate my pain for every procedure:
-cotton ball being rubbed on cervix: 5 or 6/10
-inserting measuring instrument for uterus: 7 or 8/10
-inserting IUD: 8 or 9/10
**My
pain tolerance is very low (I cry getting a flu shot), so this was
actually a tolerable IUD insertion for me. I also think I just got very
lucky having 2 doctors take care of me, which made my experience
infinitely better! I highly recommend doing the IUD since the pain is so
brief too! Hope this helps~
