I am a divorced mother of 5 minor children and I had my Mirena inserted 5.5 years ago due to heavy and painful periods. The thing stopped my periods, stopped the pain and made feel a free person again without worrying about staining my cloths and having to take days off.
I had the most wonderful 5 years physiology wise. My body responded great but.........my mood swings.....oyvei.
When it was due to come out, last August, the doc could not find the string, he poked, and poked and poked. Two docs tried to find it, to no avail. So they scheduled me to do an outpatient removal with the help of an anesthesiologist who would put me under for the few minutes it would take,
I was franctic.
As a last resort, I decided to wait, passed the due date, to see if my periods would return and get my cervix a bit softer or expel the string, or whatever was left of it after 5 years. I did and we tried again, the doctor said he would poke around a bit and it may hurt. He poked for 30 seconds and said 'here is that sucker!!' and he pulled it out. No pain, nothing.
I feel so happy now that I don't have a strange thing inside of me, but I am concerned about side effects post removal. So far, it's been a week and nothing other than a small bleeding that is fading away and a tad of a somewhat recurrent backache.
Should I expect side effects as days go by?

I had a PE 2 weeks ago,ended with cloths in both lungs,had injections for first week,now just on warafin 10mg daily.Only yesterday I thought I was going to black out,like a huge rush thru my body,and always feel light headed,like most the doctor said these are not side effects of warafin,but prior to taking warafin I never had dizzy spells.Just like to thank all you people for sharing your thoughts,as I feel now that at 42 I have to live like an 80yr old,and its comforting to know im not the only one.

Wow and I thought i was the only one having issues. I've been on loestrin now 4 months. 1st month regular period, 2nd month had it twice in the same month not heavy very light spotty. Am not accustomed to not having a period my periods consist of heavy 10-14 days flow I would go thru a pack of overnights in about 3-4 days. Now this is month 4 and I was due to have my period 2 days ago and no sign. I've had leg cramps and spasm in my back the last couple of night didn't know where that came from. Mood swings my husband is having trouble with doesn't know if it's post parturm depression or from the pill. Am gonna give it 2 more months if it doesn't regulate itself I think it's not for me. Oh and I had hair loss the first 3 months. It started growing back recently. No migraines thank god. And my sex drive is like a yoyo one moment I want to rip my cloths off the next I don't want my husband anywhere near me??
