Question 1

i've had the iud implant in for over 2 years and all of a sudden experiencing breast tenderness and pain especially my nipples.  what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Iud and breast pain.: Generally, there is no relation especially if the iud is a Paraguard.

Question 2

i have had a mirena (levonorgestrel) iud for a year now.  just recently i have been experiencing cramps, a little bleeding and breast tenderness. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Most likely normal.: Mirena (levonorgestrel) wont stop your ovaries from going through its normal production of estrogen and Progesterone even though there is no period. Sometimes the normal hormonal changes can give you the symptoms.  As well it is common to have occasional bleeding through the mirena (levonorgestrel).

Question 3

i currently have an iud after i lost my first child on march 22, 2013. i have recently had very tender breasts, heat flashes, my period should be soon?

Accepted Answer

Don’t guess.: Take a test.  They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Question 4

subsequent to left ovary and tube removal, is having breast tenderness normal ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you have one ovary, you will still have hormones and cycles as before.

Question 5

need expert advice. after left ovary and tube removal, is having breast tenderness normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Breast tenderness in general is not an ominous sign.  The loss of your tube and ovary will have no direct effect on your breasts, but there conceivably could be an indirect effect because the loss might trigger irregular cycles and greater hormonal fluctuations.

Question 6

i have an iud i am a week late and having some symptoms of pregnancy like breast tenderness and some nausea and high libdo took a test today it was -?

Accepted Answer

Likely OK: Continue to monitor your symptoms and repeat your pregnancy test if your symptoms persist or if your nausea worsens. It is normal for some women to stop having menstrual cycles with the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud.  If your pregnancy test is negative and your symptoms resolve, this is likely okay.
