Just letting you all know, ( i posted two or three days ago) i had my mirena removed yesterday after nearly a year with it in, and I SWEAR i felt better INSTANTLY. the cramps ive had for three months straight non stop are gone!! as soon as she took it out the cramps stopped, i felt like i could breath again. And removal was not painful what so ever, i didn't even feel it. she had to tell me it was out. Hopefully i'll lose the extra weight i gained and the acne will go away along with every other side effect ive had. i never associated all of my troubles with the Mirena...but now i know! I think women need to be better informed about this device... i honestly thought about walking into the doctors office yesterday with every complaint on this site printed out and telling my gyno she should hand THESE out with their brochures telling women how wonderful it is. I didn't though, but i did try to tell her about everything i had experienced and i pretty much felt like she didn't even want to hear it. I will keep posting on this site through the next couple months to let everyone know how i'm doing. I honestly feel like if you've had mirena in for six months and it isn't working you should get it removed immediately and don't let your doctor try and convince you otherwise like mine did. WOMEN listen to your bodies!!! you know when something isn't right... forget what the doctors say and do what makes you feel comfortable happy and healthy.
