I had the Mirena before my surgery but had it removed to prevent blood clogging during surgery. I really want it back because I'm sick of these monthly menstrual cycles. But am afraid I will gain weight because the Mirena deals with your hormones or something like that.

@ elli'smom How long has it been since your surgery???

I was 7 weeks this past Wed.

I can feel the strings hanging out this morning. Is that normal?

If your feeling for them you will feel them. I've had mine in for 14 months love it will feel for it every now and then.... Normal but if it feels like its coming out call your dr.

@Elli'mommy it may be something normal but when I had mines It was strings but they were not hanging were you could see or feel them. Maybe your doctor should have cut the strings down some and then inserted. Even when I would get check ups the doctor would do the two finger insert to check and see if everything was in order but never would the strings be hanging out. She (doctor) would always say she feel the strings and everything was ok.

I know I should be able to check inside for the strings and be able to feel them. But these strings are hanging out of my vagina. And they are irritating the opening. I know she sit them down during insertion bc she talked about it. I wonder if its coming out or if she just didn't cut enough off? I would call her but she left for Cali this morning so guess ill wait until Monday.

Oh wow! Call ASAP you shouldn't feel them that low by no means!!! I think it's falling. Hope they get it fixed ASAP.

I have the Mirena because of irregular periods and they did not remove mine because of the surgery.

I guess every situation is different. I was told by my doctor to remove it because it would probably cause a blood clog, which was bad for surgery.
