Is it a good idea to use Mirena or Implanon if you are hiv pos, or have past PID and eptopic preg?

Hello,

Expand this post...

First off I am sorry about your prior experiences but I thought my personal experiences should help make your decision easier. I have been on the pill, then Mirena, and now the shot. I am getting married Dec 2012 and we want children in about 2 to 3 years. The pill made me moody and sick all the time. I then got Mirena inserted due to the fact the pill was messing with my thyroid. Well about a month ago, I woke up and got out of bed to go brush my teeth. Half way there I had a sharp pain that make me double over. I went to the doctor and she COULD NOT find Mirena strings (which you have to check every month YOURSELF) (which I was uncomfortable about that). I had to go to the ER WITHOUT INSURANCE. 4 pelvic painful exams later no strings. Two ultrasounds (interior and exterior) later they found it WAY OUT OF PLACE. I got it removed to weeks ago (process caused a lot of pain). I am now thinking about the Implanon because the few side effects and the more appropriate time line. I noticed that you have a history with PID. Did you know that Mirena (if you have had a history of PID) increases your chances of a second occurrence by 50%. I hope that this helps. I am not trying to scare you by any means I just want to save another woman my experience.

I wish you the best.
