I've had Mirena for almost 2 years. I am bloated and fatigued. My joints hurt, especially my hips. I've gained 5 pounds and cannot lose it, even working out 7 days a week. I workout regularly but not with the stamina I used to have. I am 39 and in great shape. I can't make it through my classes the way I used. I struggle and it's very depressing. For the past few months my sex drive is zero. I am considering having it removed. Was it extremely painful?

As long as your Mirena is where it should be and the strings are reachable, it should be a snap. My removal was less painful than a pap....the Dr even joked with me "Are you sure you want it out?"...."YES!" "Good, because it's already out!". Good luck and I hope that you feel better soon. Feel free to send me a private message if you'd like more details on my journey since removal...I'm closer to your age than many of the posters and it may be a little different for you, as it was for me. Take care!
