Don't Use Mirena!

I haven't posted in awhile because there is something going on that I haven't really wanted to put into words. But, I finally decided that now was the time. About a year ago, shortly after my LilyBaby was born, I had a Mirena inserted for the purpose of a preventing future pregnancies (for at least awhile). I never said I was a perfect Catholic; I'm a practicing one. Once I'm perfected, I'll be sure to let you know. Anyway, I've had the Mirena in for over a year now. A few weeks ago (two to be exact), I was lying in bed and began to feel something very strange going on in my lower stomach. To me, it felt like a baby kicking. But, I told myself, this would be impossible. After all, the Mirena is supposed to be 99.9% effective. The next night, I felt the same thing while lying in bed. So, I decided to take a pregnancy test - just to put my mind at ease. And you know what? It came out positive! Talk about panic on the part of both me and my husband!!! After a quick trip to the doctor, we found out that we are more than 20 weeks pregnant! Not only are we pregnant, the Mirena is still inside me! Now, that makes me 1 in 1000 women for whom this product failed! After panicing for about a week or more, I'm starting to get used to the idea that a new baby will be making his presence known soon. We still aren't thrilled about the idea, but we're learning to accept it. What choice do we have? But, I did want to at least point out that I am very annoyed with this product.
