Re: Ladies!! Not sure whre to post this one?
Emma-I have had pelvic inflammatory disease, which is basically an infection that sounds a lot like yours--I still dont know what caused it as it is usually caused by an STD and I had none. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced. Fever, entire body aches, exhaustion, and pain in the uterine area to where I couldnt stand move, anything. I imagine its what giving birth feels like!
Anyway, I dont have any mirena coil experience, but I do know germs and infections can travel into your womb, even up to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and many many women have suffered from these infections, although I would say your odds of getting them are usually quite rare and treatment is pretty much 100% effective and you will be fine afterwards! So right now you are on the right course with the meds and taking care of yourself, resting, etc. And you will be back trying for a baby in no time. However, I did have to wait until my anti-bs were gone and I had a period again before I could have sex just to give it time to heal and let my period clean out all the old infected tissue.
Sorry to be so graphic but just though it might be useful to you. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
