I had the Mirena in for about..... 10 minutes.. LOL. Like EvaV it was hard for my OB to get in and so it was a very uncomfortable process. Once in again like EvaV I had to have a transvaginal u/s to make sure it was placed right and the OB didn`t want to cut the string before the u/s because she wanted to make sure it was in right in case she had to take it out to try again. Well the string got tangled around the IUD with out her noticing and when she pulled the probe out the IUD ripped out with it. It was horrible. To add a little humor to this all the way to my OB`s office I kept telling my husband I was so worried it would get ripped out during sex or something (I know they cut the cord short but I still tend to be a worry freak) so when we got there I half jokingly was telling my OB about how maybe I was too nervous and didn`t want it to rip out and she told me that the chances of that were slim to none and well when it got ripped out you should have seen her face she was more shocked then I was. I really love my OB and got to know her well over my pregnancy so after she and I calmed down she ran out to tell my Husband in the waiting room that I jinxed her and she can not believe it ripped out then my Husbands face was even more priceless then hers. Needless to say she offered to get me a new one and do it again and I decided against it and went back on the pill LOL

IUD`s are a great option though and I am sure my situation was a one in a million. My sister in law has the mirena and swears by it.

Just had the paragard inserted on Tuesday. I have been bleeding lightly ever since. Not sure if I will like it or not. Insertion was pretty painful- they had to do it several times then checked placement with a transvaginal US to make sure it didn`t `pierce my uterus`.

I had the paragard IUD and after a few months had to have it removed because I kept bleeding heavily and was always spotting and honestly I just did not like it at all.

Hi, I had the Paragard IUD for about 10 years (that`s how long they said it would last). I had it inserted after the birth of my son (he is now 11). I never had any problems until about the 9th year I had it...then I had some spotting and would bleed sometimes after sex with my bf (now husband). I was pretty concerned so I went to the Gyno and he said that it was probably about time for it to come out. My husband (newly married this year) and I knew we wanted have a child, so I had it removed on that visit. It was very easy and not at all painful. He said that we could start trying for pregnancy as soon as we wanted. I knew I wanted to wait until marriage in June so I had him put me on the pill for about 3 months. I went off the pill in June and conceived in July. (the first month we tried!) I was worried that having an IUD for such a long time would have affected my chances of conceiving...but obviously that was WRONG! (I am now 20 weeks pregnant! YAY!) I am very pleased that it worked so well for me and hope that it will do the same for you. At the time I got it I wasn`t ready for anything permanent. Now I know why...I am pregnant for the third (and final)time and couldn`t be HAPPIER! :)
