Hi ladies, I had my MIRENA removed this past Tuesday the 20th. I have had it in since april or may of 08. I had cramps that lasted all month for as long as it was in, which always had me paranoid because I remember feeling that way when i was pregnant. I also suffered migraines, lack of motivation and fatigue, and was snippy and mean... i especially had pms for 2 weeks before the actual period, and close to the end I was bloated for about 2 months straight, and looked pregnant! These symptoms can be subtle, and some women may not notice them at all, but, one the IUD is out... the difference is notable within HOURS! I am amazed at how different I feel within days! I am bleeding like I have my period, but absolutely no cramping... or maybe its just not noticeable compared to the cramps I had with the mirena. I just wanted to share this because I know if I knew these things I would have definitely thought twice about the mirena. Listen to your body, if it doesn't like the mirena, it is trying to tell you.... Doctors make mistakes, and they are either in denial, PAYED OFF by mirena, or just ignorant to the fact that these side effects exist.
