Good that they found it Booh, glad that it was still relatively in place....given up wondering where on earth mine is now. Just want them to finish the x-ray (don't expect to find it) then put another one in.

Hi,

For those of you that had a missing coil, how long did it take from the initial appointment when it was first noticed as being missing to getting the ultrasound/x ray to getting it removed?

My friend had an appointment a month ago & was told they couldn't find it, she is still waiting for her letter for NHS Choose & Book, then she prob won't get an appointment straight away, the needs it removed.
Roughly how long did all that take for you all?

Thanks

Mine was around a week for the ultrasound then a couple of weeks for an xray as they couldn't find it with the ultrasound - then they put a new one in at my doctors.

Over a year. I had to fight for the x-ray as Doctor was adamant it must have fallen out. I then had to wait for a consultants appointment, then go on waiting list for surgery. All in all a complete farce.

Thanks for the replies, She received her letter this morning with an appt for ultrasound at end of June so hopefully she will get sorted shortly after that.

I read this thread last night and not surprisingly dreamt that I found my mirena in the tumble dryer!! I woke up this morning to DP feeling frisky and my first words were 'omg its in the dryer, its going to melt, I need to put it back in '

he looked at me as if I was mad!!

And people still WANT to have Mirena's??!!!!!

I had a new one put back in Rosey, despite the drama - the pros of it definately outweigh the cons, out of the millions that have them, only a few go awondering and the fact that I don't have to worry about contraception, have no periods to deal with is a huge plus.
