Hi, thought I'd share my positive story about having Mirena removed. Having it removed was no doubt the best decision even though two doctors told me that it was not necessary and the loss of hair, graying and loss of libido could not be due to Mirena since it releases minute amounts of hormones locally. Not only have I seen a return to my libido but the hair loss has stopped. this cannot be placebo effect. Even my husband has noticed the difference (no more clogged drains). Thank God! I felt like I was aging at the rate of knots. I now feel so much happier, healthier and more attractive. For all out there who are wondering if it's the Mirena causing hair loss etc, I sincerely believe it is probably very much the case, despite what the medics will tell you. Best wishes.

Hello,

I'm sooo glad I found this site. I had Mirena for about 4 months now, and I just start noticing massive hair loss. I had a lot of hair, and now it thinned out soo bad that I can see through my roots. I went to the doctor to get checked and see if something is wrong with me. All my blood results came back fine. The only thng that I attribute my hairloss to is the IUD. Did any of you experienced massive hair loss????Did it grow back????...I am soo scared I don't want to go bald, I'm only 26.

I had my Mirena put in 7-11-08 and had it removed 8-7-08 because I have also experienced hair loss. I haven't noticed it slowing down yet, so I was just wondering how long it took before you noticed that it slowed down or stopped. I'm trying to just relax and hope that it stops soon.
