Just thought I'd share this so hopefully I can help others avoid complications. (Sorry for the graphics) Last Thursday I noticed a weird sensation vaginally as I used the restroom. When I proceeded to investigate I discovered my Mirena, was not were it should be it had fallen out of my uterus. So immediately I contacted my OB who says due to the fact that we have no idea when it moved, there is a large chance that I could be pregnant and not only that but I have lost 100lbs since my 11-13-12 surgery which would mean that birth-control might not work as well. Now if I would have had normal GB I don't think I would be as concerned as I am. But because I have had so many complications I am very worried. So for all you women who have mirena please be cautious I was I went a month ago to make sure it had not moved and I was assured it wasn't going anywhere. So if you feel something's off go with your instincts.

P.s if any one can suggest a birth control we can absorb well please let me know THANK'S!!!

I have been on depo for two years. My lady doctor said that there shouldnt be any issues after surgery. There was some weight gain, but this was also when I wasnt conserned and was eating everything but the kitchen sink. But I love the depo. Its conveniant, not a daily thing and I hated the idea of inplant

Why can't we just take birth control pill? I was on ortho tricyclen lo before gastric bypass. Had to stop a month before surgery by surgeon said I could start it up again after my next period after surgery.

As always check with your surgeon. I tried to research and some docs are worried about malabsorption and the increased rish of blood clots.

One sight said depro may cause osteoarthritis.

The iud seems the most favorite.

Hysterectomy when I was 28!

I posted this somewhere else but gotta tell ya, my mirena destroyed my orgasms....loved the no period thing but my orgasm intensity went from delightful to meh, not worth the effort....they were super easy to have but just blah....gyn thought I was nuts but within days of having it removed I was back to the good old days!

i’ve always been able to check the strings - if your nervous you can always go see your OB -

My Dr was from the military and shared that of the hundreds he put in - only ONE was expelled. I feel pretty good about those #’s

I was never able to feel my strings either, also I've always had a tipped uterus and I did have them check 3 times. They claimed I was just fine and not to worry. Now that I've switched OB docs come to find out at least 8 different women in my area have had similar issues. It really sucks I hate medical care out here. It's so bad I'm considering moving my whole family,back to the city but my 4 kids love their school...

oh man! Happy that I have my tubes tied! Im so done having kids. 2 girls is more then enough
