Mirena IUD and breast pain
Mirena IUD and breast pain
Hi! I have the Mirena IUD and really quite like it. Have had it for 2 years and have had no problems. However this month has been odd. Last week I started having pretty painful breasts... Mostly my nipples. I know nothing's 100%.... So yeah of course I thought pregnancy right away. Took a couple pregnancy tests and they were negative. That was a couple days ago and I'm still hurting. I've been looking online and notice that painful breasts can be a symptom of birth control, but this hasn't happened to me in the couple of years I've had the IUD. Does anyone here have one and have stuff like this happen? This is really the first time I've felt worried since I've gotten it! I might call my doctor tomorrow and see what she says too. Thank you.

Re: Mirena IUD and breast pain
Side effects of birth control can happen any time, it's just that they're most common and tend to be more noticeable when you first start using a method. It isn't impossible that this is due to your IUD, but breast pain/tenderness can happen for a bunch of different reasons, and since it sounds like you're in quite a bit of pain, checking in with a doctor is definitely a good idea.
