THE MIRENA HAS RUINED MY LIFE. AFTER 2 YEARS OF HELL, I HAD IT REMOVED, THEN I STARTED YAZ BUT I HAVE NOT HAD MY PERIOD YET SINCE I HAD THE MIRENA REMOVED 3 MONTHS AGO. IM ALWAYS THINKING IM PREGNANT BUT THE TEST ALWAYS COME OUT NEGATIVE. WHEN WILL I GET MY PERIOD? IM TIRED OF THINKING IM PREGNANT WHEN IM NOT. WHATS WRONG WITH ME? BY THE WAY DID I MENTION I GOT OVARIAN CYSTS BECAUSE OF THE MIRENA. I NOW STOPPED TAKING BIRTH CONTROLS SINCE MY HUSBAND IS AWAY WORKING AND I DON'T NEED BIRTH CONTROL. IM STILL WAITING FOR MY PERIOD TO COME. I HOPE I AM NOT GOING THROUGH EARLY MENOPAUSE. IM ONLY 27 YEARS OLD. IVE HEARD ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF IUDS IS EARLY MENOPAUSE.

I only had the Mirena for 5 months and had it removed due to side effects. I went immediately into menopause but I am quite a bit older than you -- 43. Maybe your body just needs more time to balance your natural hormones. As a birth control pill, the Yaz takes over your natural hormone output some maybe by going from the Mirena right to that, it just prolonged the time your body needed to start on it's own. Are your cysts still a problem or did they go away after you had the Mirena removed? I started having hot flashes after the Mirena was removed....it took 2 months for that to start. I would say that if you go more than 2 months post-Yaz and don't have a period, you should check with your Dr. Good luck and take care.
