Re: mirena side effects

shawanna24Member

Hi everyone,
so i posted before about the birth control pill causing my pouch to flare up (which dr shen verified). so i got off the BC and he put me on elavil for IPS. I got so much better. my pouch has actually never been so great. Last wed i got mirena put in and on thursday night my BMs have been all water. Anyone else have experience with mirena? did you have this side effect? and did it go away? just don't know if i should have it removed. thanks!

Hi Shawanna

I've had the Mirena for 3 years now and I never had any worse of an issue after I had it implanted, but that's just me. It is much easier for me not having any period which caused alot of hormonal flares.

I would give it a week and if it's still worse, maybe it's a pouchitis flare? Try some cipro?

I hope you feel better soon!

I had the Mirena briefly, but hated it for other reasons (I'm super sensitive to hormones). But it never affected my pouch, though we're all different. They tell you it's " local hormone therapy," but it was more than that for me. Got it pulled and felt better in 3 days. Maybe the hormones are doing something to you?
