Ok' date=' I was told that I could keep my Mirena in for surgery, which went well. The problem is that I am 1 month out and I've had my cycle 3 times including coming home from surgery. The third one was really BAD! Is anyone else experiencing any Mirena issues?

Is it in place? I had it for about 6 months and it was nt in place

Hello ladies here is my story....

SD 11/2/12 rny

I had mirena placed in me 8 weeks after my third child. Well it fell out 2 months later ,,, my body rejected it dr said !!!!! So I decided to get my tubes tide, And I did in July 2011 well I ended up getting pregnant in November 2011 and then for no reason I had a. Miscarriage at the end of December .... So drs said this is rare and I'm the lucky 1 in 1000...

Dr doesn't know if I can get pregnant but he feels that I can and for some reason my tube opened,,,, I got a second opinion and the dr said yes I can get pregnant but it is risky because my pregnancy has a 50% chance to form in the tube and a 50% chance to make it to my uterus ! So my suggestion is to not trust any form of bc.

EVERYONE has stories -

just think about how many Gastric Bypass stories you’ve heard???!!!

My gyn is a man who was a former military doctor - said he placed thousands of merina’s and ONE slipped out - it’s entirely possible - I LOVE my merina. What’s the absolute worst that can happen?

Hey Silvia' date=' I was thinking that mine had come out, but since I recently came on again, now it's back on the regular Mirena cycle. I also am not depending on it for birth control cause I have my tubes tied. My obgyn just had me get it cause my cycles were so bad. It has worked for that and I was very happy, but if it makes me gain weight then I hope it will fall out <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

It never made me gain weight so I'm happy with it in that sense.

surgery date: 7/30/12

Abstinence is the ONLY sure fire way of not getting preggers - every single method has the potential of an unplanned pregnancy - and everyone loves to tell their stories...remember when you were pregnant how everyone LOVES telling you horror stories about their friends friends sisters uncles dogs cousin who got pregnant on accident and had the worst labor ever? Maybe I’m just special and everyone NEEDED to tell me their crazy stories?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
