Can Anyone Provide Some Insight About Mirena IUD?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Brooklyn, NY

I think that the Depoprovera is ravaging my body. Bone pain and erosion was stated as a side effect. I was told take calcium and I will be fine. I am diligent in taking my calcium supplements yet and still my bones feel sore and painful especially in my feet when I walk. The pressure makes me feel like the bones in my feet are breaking. On top of that, my emotions are all over the place in the worst way possible. So now my doctor wants to switch me to mirena iud. Honestly, I dont know if I… read more

I loved my Mirena. I would give it a go - worse case scenario they have to take it out again. And the effects begin to wear off as soon as it is removed so, unlike the depo you don't have to wait for discomfort to decrease if you don't get on with it.

Ladies, thank you so much for the useful information. I don't know why I never thought to look at the Planned Parenthood website. I will do so now. I'm definitely taking what you ladies said under advisement when making my decision. I go for my 3rd depo shot on Sept. 27 and will need to make a decision before then. I actually think I am less apprehensive about making the switch now. Thank you once again for the information and support.

I think you will only know how the mirena will go w you when u try it... seems 50/50 people love or hate it. Hasn't helped my pelvic pain at all but I have adeno as well as endo. Also think it's making me get uti... but some pple love it

Yeah it sucks each obgyn doctor has their own ways of handling endo it's so frustrating being told different things and only thing I want is relief from the pain without pain meds that put me to sleep

The IUD makes me bleed for a month straight but I don't bleed after that until it's removed. But pain wise it's not better I feel it may be getting worse but my doctors never told me what stage and keep putting off any type of change in pain management
