What are the risks of Mirena (IUD) getting moved out of place during sex?

Question

I am thinking about getting mirena, it has been the best BC from everything I've read. I haven't gone to the doctor yet to ask them any of my questions, just looking to get some more personal experience answers. I haven't seen anything that has answered this question, so any answers would be appreciated.

I'm 20 years old and have had a child, not sure if any of that matters.

Answer 1

Mirena is a great BC from my experience. I have had it ever since I had my second child. I have never had a problem with it. Sex does not move it or mess it up. I have heard there can be a slight risk of it being moved during your first period, but you are supposed to go get it checked by your doctor after your first one anyway. On the upside, your periods do get lighter. Gotta love that! You can check to make sure it is still in place if you are concerned, but it is highly effective (more so than getting fixed!). Definitely talk to your doctor about it. I am including a link to the website. This should give you plenty to consider until then.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I just got Paragard almost a week ago. It's the non hormonal and apparently it's slightly larger than mirena. I had so much cramping pain upon insertion (I havnt had a kid. I'm 24) that I was about crying and moving up in the bed. I'm just hoping it doesn't move because I don't want to go through it again. Apparently mirena doesn't hurt as bad because it's smaller. But right after I felt like I had to throw up (I didn't though) and I was shaking and tingly. It's all good now. My boyfriend doesn't feel the strings at all. Hopefully all stays well because I need the non hormonal. Was on depo for 5 years and it was finally getting to me.

Birth Control Mirena IUD (inter-uterine device) Mirena is a unique type of IUD that contains low doses of progestin: the same hormone used in some birth control pills. Like other IUDs, the Mirena is a small T-shaped device placed into the uterus by your health care provider. Because the hormones are released directly into the uterus, only low doses are necessary to prevent pregnancy, about 1/7 of that in a birth control pill. Mirena is about 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, similar to the birth control pill. This is significantly higher than a conventional copper IUD, which is 96-98 percent effective. Mirena does not protect you and your partner against sexually transmitted infections. Copper IUDs are not recommended for women with heavy menstrual periods, because they often make the bleeding heavier. However Mirena will reduce a woman's periods, and may be a useful treatment for women with small to moderate fibroids or heavy menstrual bleeding. Using Mirena Mirena must be inserted in a doctor's office or clinic. It is often inserted during your period or shortly after having an abortion or giving birth when your caregiver can be sure that you are not pregnant. The insertion takes about five minutes. It is inserted into the uterus so that thin strings attached to the base of the T hang down through the cervical opening. These strings are trimmed so they are just long enough for you to check that the IUD is in place and so that a health care provider can use them to remove the IUD at a later date. Most women have some cramps when the IUD is being inserted. You may want to use another method of birth control as back-up for a month in case the IUD moves or comes out. After six weeks, return to your doctor or clinic for a check-up then continue to have your regular check-ups. The Mirena can remain in place for 5 years and can be easily and quickly removed by a health care provider. Changes to your Menstrual Cycle and other Side Effects Mirena will change your menstrual cycle and eventually make your periods much lighter. However, in the first three months of use, many women experience unpredictable bleeding, and about 20 percent have prolonged periods that last more than 8 days. After three months bleeding becomes more regular and may stop altogether. In studies of Mirena, women's periods were reduced by 85 percent after three months and 97 percent after a year. Although bleeding is much lighter, some women who use Mirena have difficulty predicting when their period will occur. Beyond these menstrual irregularities, Mirena has few side effects because it contains such a small amount of hormone. Some women do experience mild side effects related to the hormones such as headaches, water retention, breast tenderness or acne. Often these resolve after the first two months of use. Advantages very effective neither partner can feel an IUD during sex the woman controls this method of birth control can remain in place for many years Disadvantages cost does not protect against sexually transmitted infections unpredictable bleeding and other side effects particularly in the first few months increased risk of pelvic infection mainly associated with insertion increased risk of benign ovarian cysts may be difficult to insert in some women rarely an IUD may puncture the wall of the uterus Hope This Helps you Understand How it Works.?

i have a friend who had a mirena iud inserted after having 2 kids, day after the insertion she had severe problems and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with toxic shock syndrome and on arrival they also found the iud had moved. it's been two weeks and she is still experiencing pain and is unwell.

Answer 5

From what I have seen in the hospital I work at, and in my personal life... Unless you are doing truly outrageous acts, then the IUD will be perfectly fine and safe where it is placed.

and if you are doing the outrageous stuff.. well then it may still be fine, but there is a much larger chance of it getting knocked out of place

Answer 6

I HAD THE MIRENA PUT IN RIGHT BEFORE I TURNED 20 AND MY HUSBAND DID SAY THAT HE COULD FEEL IT BUT IT WAS NOT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM NOR DID IT GET IN HIS WAY. I HAD A FRIEND WHO ONCE TOLD ME THAT HERS PINCHED HER MAN AT TIMES SO SHE HAD IT REMOVED. ANYWAYS MINE DIDN'T LAST LONG BC IT CAUSED MY WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT TO GO UP TOO HIGH. BUT IT DOESN'T HURT BAD(IT DOES HURT A BIT BUT I SAY ONLY A LITTLE BC AFTER YOU HAVE HAD A KID PAIN ISN'T REALLY PAIN UNLESS IT'S LABOR) IT'S LIKE A PAP SMEAR ALMOST AND IT DOESN'T GET MOVED OUT OF PLACE DURING SEX EITHER!

Answer 9

It is for older women who do not want another pregnancy, it reduces the monthly period, in the end menses disappear completely. If properly fixed, it doesnt get displaced. I used it for 5 years, it is the best.
