Endo Cancer? It has to be listed and discussed. All you ladie...

Endo Cancer? It has to be listed and discussed. All you ladies out there that have had the Mirena removed: Are your periods lighter than they ever were? Are they still? What is the time frame of having the IUD removed & your return to what is a normal period for you? If you're still experiencing a "light" or "lighter" flow than what is your norm after having the Mirena out, get yourself to the doctor's office (NOT your Gyn), tell them you were using the Mirena & ask for an ultrasound to measure and look at your uterus. Chances are, like me, you'll have an unusually thickened endo lining. Not just thickened, but irregular as opposed to smooth. What does this mean? Well, you shouldn't have a THICK lining that keeps growing or stays the same. I was normal before insertion. (u-sounds done 2 weeks prior) At about 10 days after removal, u-sounds showed an irregular thick lining measuring at 10mm. At almost 8 weeks after removal, u-sound test showed the lining to be at 13mm. NOTE: The "C" word starts getting used if you head toward the 15mm range. Has anyone in your GYN office addressed this side effect with you? Mine certainly didn't. Not one word. They didn't even tell me what to expect after my insistant demands for removal. (I called them after to report severe bleeding and clots of tissue, to which they responded was "normal".) Ok....so if I had a heavy bleed, one would assume that the lining would be completely shed. So, why, after two cycles, and only 21 days of actual Mirena usage, is my endo lining growing like a banshee?
