I have had the Mirena IUD for the past 2 years (following an abortion) and haven't had any complications from it aside from BV a year ago and some mild cramping from time to time. I haven't had a period since about a year and a half ago. I have had one sexual partner for the past 3 months - I got checked for STIs before and after sleeping with him. When getting checked the second time I was treated for BV again. About 2 weeks ago I got what seemed to be a very painful and heavy period, which was odd since I haven't had a period in over a year. This went on for about 3 days - I thought nothing of it but I was still spotting for a few more days. 5 days ago, I experienced some itching and burning and treated myself for a yeast infection - I am not sure if it was related to the medication or just a coincidence but I passed a large clump of white and pink discharge which appeared to be a bit stringy. It was about the size of a golf ball. I am still experiencing this discharge and some minor discomfort. Earlier this month, I was experiencing breast tenderness and soreness which is now gone. I feel very fatigue and tired all the time - I can't even get up to go to work. I am wondering if this could have been a miscarriage. I went to the doctors yesterday who gave me a prescription for BV again and I have an ultrasound on Friday to ensure my IUD is in the correct position. I also did a pregnancy test but it came up negative.
Could this have been a miscarriage? Also, yesterday I checked to ensure the string of my IUD was still there and I felt it beside a lump in my cervix. Could this issue be from my IUD? I am very worried.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? More specifically the large clump of white/pink discharge. I am worried with what that could have been...
