I have developed a lump/swelling at the end of my cervix size of a pea only on one side at the bottom of it since i have had the coil fitted for hrt 5 weeks ago. i am waiting for a scan so will know more then.Has anyone else had one of these lumps i know it is not a polyp and it cant be see by the dr only felt.
Also only since having the coil fitted its too painful to use tampons. is this normal? i have been bleeding everyday for 5 weeks like a normal period so reasonably heavy and still lots of cramping.

Hi Ruby

Your post got missed - sorry I can't help with your problem as I have never had a Mirena but hopefully now it's earlier in the evening someone with experience of this might see your post and respond....

Can you yourself feel the lump on your cervix - just wondering how you knew you had something there? I have ( had?) a cervical ectropion a few years ago - no idea whether it went away or what happens to them long term - but it probably caused light bleeding/spotting after intimacy (although doc said that wasn't the cause - but there was nothing else....). Not since though....

However if you are still having problems after insertion of the coil ie pain (bleeding I gather is normal) I would have thought you should be seen by someone sooner to check it is in place OK?

Hopefully a scan will enable to you to find out what's wrong and others will be along soon....

Hi Hurdity thanks for your reply . I was in so much pain which seemed to be coming from the cervix area more than my tummy area so I checked the coil was still in place but found a lump which I thought was the coil that moved . I went to hospital and saw an emergency gynaecologist and she couldn't see anything and  no inflammation but could feel a lump on my cervix . She didn't think the coil was coming out . I have to wait to have a scan to check the coil is still in place and to see what the lump might be.

That sounds unpleasant 

Do you know how long you have to wait for the scan?

1-2 weeks they think for a scan, they are very busy .

Not brilliant, but I know someone who had a much longer wait after a perforation 

Hope it is nearer the one week x
