I have the Mirena IUD and lately I have been very nauseous, like maybe im pregnant?

Q: I got the Mirena iud on april 22nd 2008. three weeks later i knew i wanted this thing out of me. the Dr’s convinced me to leave it in, and see how it works out, to just give it some time. well, here i am six months later, and things have only gotta worse. i think it may be in the process of falling out, because i can feel more of the strings than i used to and there is a sharp pinching in what feels like soft tissue, maybe inside my cervix? i am nauseous every single Night, without fail, just utterly sick. not throwing up or anything, just run down make it stop please help me kinda sick. my periods are weird as hell early/on time/missing? if this thing doesn’t fall out of me, im going to pull it out myself. what would the difference be anyways, fall out, get taken out, either way, its out. ive had it for 6 months, and those 6 months i have went from a happy new mom to a crazy women who gets funny looks from her family when she bursts into tears, or screams at someone for no real reason. i know this IUD is making me this way, and im praying it does fall out, because if it doesn’t, i am going to pull it out. i cant have this thing in me one more day, and my dr’s appointment is scheduled for november 18th, and that, my friends, just aint soon enough. what do i do?

A: just dont take it out on your own. if you cant wait until the 18 for your appointment, call your doctors office, tell them your iud is falling out and your pretty sure of it because the position of your string has moved, and you are having pains that you had not experienced with it before, and ask if you can get an earlier appointment. you do not want to pull it out yourself, you could really injure yourself. also, take a pregnancy test right away. tubal pregnancy is way more likely with iuds and are very harmful.

I got the Mirena in July 08 after having a baby in May 08 got pregnant and lost the baby. Do I have a case?

Q: I got on the Mirena on July 28, 2008 at the VA Hospital in Atlanta, GA after having my third child in May of 2008. In Nov of 08, I went back to my GYN to make sure the IUD was still in me because I no longer felt my strings. My GYN and a student resident did an ultrasound and stated that it was still in from the ultrasound. I stop having menstrual cycles in December of 08, which led me to believe that the device was still in and working due to not having periods as my doctor told me some women may experience. Well in Feb of 09 I started to have abdominal pains on my left side… I thought that maybe I had uterine fibroids because my mother had just had surgery in 08 for fibroids. I made an appointment to see my GYN again pertaining to the pain and explain that I had the IUD they schedule me to get a pregnancy test in March and schedule my actual appointment with my GYN in April… My March blood pregnancy test came out negative so it was a relief to me due to the fact that they were telling me that I may have become pregnant in my tubes… When I went to see my GYN in April, I explain to her the type of pain I was having, and she order a stats on the urine test for pregnancy which came back positive, then she did an ultrasound to verify with an additional order for me to go to another hospital to get a detail ultrasound to locate where the baby was at… In the process she stated they couldn’t find my IUD, or could the other hospital that she asked me to go to… When I start going to my regular OB doctors; they did their normal routine check on me and schedule my first ultrasound with the hospital I plain to have my baby at. My first ultrasound was in May of this year which the results stated I had got pregnant in March which pregnancy test came back negative, and that the IUD was still in me and located in my cervix. My OB doctors made two attempts to remove the IUD for the safety of my baby and they stated that by the IUD still being in me that it put me at an even higher risk of loosing my baby. I tried to stay calm until I found out I was having another chance a baby girl. Had an abnormal AFP test which I ended up doing an amino test, and then a week later I lost my baby found out that my baby was going to be a normal baby, and that due to the fact that I was able to still carry her a week after having the amino ruled out that the amino chances of causing me to miscarry… Due to the fact that I have not seen the IUD fall out or know what it looks like I am wondering if one was it inserted wrong from the beginning, two did it fall out, three is it the cause of me loosing my baby, and four do I really have a chance at suing the company and the VA or both, and could it still be in to keep causing some of the pains I was experiencing before I found out I was pregnant…?

A: hello. i have gotten the mirena as well. i got mine on june 10th 2009. when i got mine they made me sign a consent form. it said stuff about if you get pregnant or have an ectopic pregnancy then you couldnt sue them so im sorry but im pretty sure you cannot sue them.

Why do So Many Men Refuse to Pay Child Support Pt.3?

Q: Non payment is not a form of neglect. It’s all about money, just b/c a man pays child support doesn’t mean he will be involved in the child’s life. Society says how the presence of a father in a child’s life is a great impact on how the child grows, however they seem to feel that paying every month is somehow helping?? Why don’t we enforce VISITATION. The guy said it right earlier, fathers need to be there emotionally and physically. When you pay child support, visitation rights is a seperate entity. If we enforce that men should be around their children with visitation instead of child support then maybe we wouldn’t have so many men running away from the system!As stated earlier, non payment of child support is not a form of neglect, especially when the child has all types of welfare! Do you realize how many women receive Medicaid, Food Stamps, Housing vouchers, TANF, Child Care and other benefits, just for being a single mother??? You have no idea! So where exactly is the neglect? If the child lives with the his/her mother she probably works and pays the cost of living. SO what else could the child possibly need if they have food and shelter? (off of welfare) Clothes, shoes, little condiments here there, school supplies perhaps and love. Biological father should help for that. However, for the mother’s cost of living, the father of child should NOT have to be forced to pay for. The mother of the child SHOULD work, and not wait for the child support check to come in every month to help pay for her living expenses! This is not alimony. I am specifically speaking of women that are on welfare and unwed mothers and fathers. As I stated before, there are MANY forms of birth control! Yaz, Yazmin, Ortho Evra, Depo, The No Period Pill, Loestrin Fe, The Chewable Pill, IUD, you name it they have it! This is 2007, what makes sense for woman over the age of 18 , to not be taking any birth control? Men too! You need to be wearing condoms, most definitely! But they haven’t came out with a line of birth control for men yet, so I’m speaking to the women! We are always blaming the men, women too need to be using their birth control! It’s getting ridiculous! This is 2007, not the 1960s before birth control! There are many cases, where women meet a man and there is an assumption that they will always be together and then when the woman gets pregnant the father spilts. Unfortunately, this is an unmarried couple and if he is going to be that type of person then you don’t need him anyway. There is a reason for why people wait until they get married to have sex or have children. I am for child support, but the state is going about it the wrong way. When a woman gets pregnant and the father of her child is not around she has options. She either has an abortion, an adoption, or she chooses parenting. This is her choice, and if she chooses parenting she will get as much information she can about all the public aid she can get. She is told from the time she finds out she is pregnant to get WIC, and Medicaid, and all other sorts of public aid. However, what do we tell the man? We just tell him to pay child support, and if he doesn’t, he’ll go to jail! And in a moment, his life is forever changed. I think we need to start helping our men, and stop just telling a man to keep his pants zipped, when we should ALSO be saying to our women to keep their legs closed. If it goes both ways, then why are we always blaming the men?? Like I said earlier, I’ve heard of rapists going to jail, but men that don’t pay child support? Now, that’s just ridiculous.The Solution? There should be a government funded proram where the aid is used to pay for child support. It shouldn’t be too much but it should calculate a percentage of needs that the child itself will need monthly, such as clothes, or shoes, school supplies, and other things children need. Everybody knows that some of these government funded programs are unecessary, some of them should be cut back to pay for support of the children. We as american citizens are already paying for everybody elses’ children in our taxes. Now for the fathers of the child, every assumed father should be ordered to take paternity for each alleged child. There is a large percentage of men that pay child support and aren’t the father of the child. After paternity is established, the father should be given some sort of visitation arrangment between the father and the child to see each other often. To establish a connection, and provide love and care for growth. However, it sound ludicrous to say it is a felony for a man to not pay child support, and send him to jail. What if otherwise, he is a good man? He has another family? Is he really selfish? Or is he just trying to survive without the threat of going to jail for non payment of child support!!?!?

A: WoW could not of said it any better. Statistics show that men who are allowed visitation especially those who are allowed to have a RELATIONSHIP with their children are prone to diligently pay child support +++ plus give many extras.I agree that the mothers who demand their children withhold affection for their fathers have more problems, less money, abuse the government, and always YELLING poor little me.
