So I finally had the Mirena taken out. Feel a little better, but am having the "Mirena crash". Lost a couple of pounds already (two weeks), but started bleeding two days after removal and haven't stopped since. Heavy at first with huge clots and now still clotting just not as bad. Seems to be dying down finally. Mirena is the absolute worst thing I have ever done to my body. Oh and when I went in to get Mirena removed I felt like I had a pinched nerve in my back that miraculously went away the minute it was taken out! My doctor denies any symptoms were from Mirena. I almost think the drug company that produces this is paying all doctors a kickback for using it. Don't listen when they tell you it's great. I have read pages and pages of women with the same complaints I have about Mirena. If your reading this and thinking of getting it I say: DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
