I just had mine removed last week, and I am experiencing heavy bleeding with some clots. But I have to say that waiting this out is less stressful than the horrible side affects I had from having it fitted. I've never had severe acne or terrible cramps during my periods (among other things), but after the insertion, the cramping was bad and it never really went away. I started getting bad breakouts a few weeks after insertion, and it continually got worse. After 5 months, my face is scarred, but is now healing. Within a week of having that thing removed, my face is clearing up and my complexion is brighter. My theory on this is that having a foreign object deliberately put into your body will cause your immune system to attract the foreign body and forego the obvious and little things like fighting bacteria in the pores of your face and back. (I never had back acne before in my life - just another side affect of Mirena.) Your body does what it's made to do - fight the worst of it. So it tries and tries to get rid of the plastic thing in your uterus not caring if your skin is suffering. I am the furthest thing from a doctor, but it seems to make the best sense to me. SO HAPPY IT'S GONE!!!
