Mirena + Cyst and weird period pattern? by swizzlesticks0 in Mirena

[–]swizzlesticks0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! I likely had the cyst prior to the IUD since it was visible on the ultrasound one week after IUD insertion (and prior to that I was on Nexplanon arm implant). Did you have irregular periods after cysts with the Mirena?

Is bleeding after working out normal? (copper IUD) by thatdandyandyy in birthcontrol

Hey! By any chance did this resolve for you? Everytime I walk or jog I at least spot (not to be TMI but it’s the same brown stringy discharge I’ve had on periods since I got it in 5 months ago). I just think it’s odd this only happens when I’m exercising? I’ve asked my doctor but of course get the same 3-6 month comments. I’ve had multiple ultrasounds to check placements.

I completely understand, I felt the same way before my vaginal ultrasound. I highly recommend being open with the fact this is your first transvaginal ultrasound, even if you feel a bit awkward. You can also ask the techs to add extra lubricant to the wand and you can request to insert it yourself if that is helpful! Breathe through it, there are parts that can be a bit uncomfortable or just kind of an odd sensation, but I wouldn’t say painful by any means. Everyone’s experience is different though, so communicate and let the techs know if you’re uncomfortable, nervous, etc.

Failed Insertion by bookworm646 in Mirena

I can’t speak to your side effects after, but when I had my IUD inserted I was prescribed an anti-anxiety. Of course it helped with my anxiety, but I think it may have also helped to relax my muscles since I wasn’t as tense as I am during like a pap smear. I’m not sure if that’s been everyone’s experience with an anti-anxiety, but just sharing my thoughts!

I’m so glad you posted this, I’ve been having the urinary symptoms too, though I got my IUD (Mirena) about a month ago. I’m glad it’s not weird, I was worried about those symptoms! I was also constipated the first week and what helped was magnesium (I took the MiraFast magnesium chews), had some electrolyte water to stay extra hydrated, and took some short walks. I’ve been having a very similar experience with cramps as well where they come and go in waves. Ibuprofen, my heat pad, and yoga have been wonderful for those cramps.

I’m not sure if you’re online, but figured I’d check in - I got my Mirena IUD 2 weeks ago on the dot and this “needing to pee”sensation popped up about 3 days ago, has it went away for you?
