i had the mirena removed today. the doctor said that he has had a few people with the same side effects as mine and that i should see the mirena effects go away 2-3 months and totally gone by 6. he had a hard time getting the mirena out as the strands had curled under. I had some slight cramps and that was it. i am so happy to have this evil thing out of me. i hope the FDA looks into this further. Mirena should be listing more side effects than they do. i will let you know in 3 months how well this recovery went.
