Having it put in was, in all honesty, excruciating. But then I was refused pain relief beforehand. Pain continued to be horrendous for over 2 weeks. Called doctor multiple times during this time but as my temperature was normal they said “it would settle”. Ongoing pain/discomfort for first 2 months (made endo symptoms worse, particularly bladder pain). On month 4 now, still experiencing the same pain during ovulation/period as before but with very light flow, mainly spotting that occurs throughout the month. Constant cystitis symptoms. Sex more painful than before (when I even feel up for it, my drive has disappeared) Giving it one more month before asking for it to be removed.

I very much respect that the Mirena works for some but there needs to be more responsive services for those who do have a problem. I was recommended it too to prevent endometrial cancer and believe my risk (of endometrial cancer) as I breastfed for three years and am not obese was exaggerated and the possible Mirena side effects were underplayed, for example, The Scottish Medicines' agency says 89% of women get side effects with the Kyleena. My periods were lighter but much longer. In the end, after 7 weeks of being gaslighted and suffering "contractions" it was removed as an emergency under a general anaesthetic.

I loved every second of using the Mirena IUS. My periods stopped, I didn't experience any symptoms of PMS and felt generally way more level (and it was a chaotic time when I was using it!) The only reason I took it out was because my time was up with it and got it replaced with the Levosert, which I liked a little less - I'll leave a separate review for that one.
