I am having a Tubal Ligation and Ablation in June and was supposed to have my Mirena removed at that time. I decided with encouragement from my husband to have it removed this Friday. I am hopelessly tired of living this way and can't wait to have it removed. I am a little scared about the pain and bleeding but one month is not a long time to wait for surgery that will help (I hope). I am 43 years old and hoping to feel like myself again before this was inserted. I too walked around not believing that the Mirena could cause these issues but my husband keeps saying-"could all of you ladies be wrong, could all of you ladies really be telling the same story when you don't even know each other". That's when it hit me that maybe i am not crazy, maybe this is not due to "OLD AGE" (43-is not old). I will come back on line after this is out and let you know how i feel. I just pray that this is really the solution to the problem.
thanks for listening
