I read alot on this website where people have pulled them out themselves. I felt for mine last night & almost did do it just to get rid of the headache, but I'd wait for a doctor. I go tomorrow so it would only be one more day for me. It's all up to you though and what you're comfortable with.
I wouldn't if I were you. Please let your doc do it. Ihad mine removed Monday. I got my period today. I real, regular period. I was due for it anyway (even though I never got one on Mirena - I always knew when it was that time of the month). It came out painlessly. He asked me to make a big cough & he tugged it out at that moment. he said when you cough, your diaphragm floor loosens & lossens everything around it. So if you were to do this yourself, (but again, I hope you don't), then make sure you give a good cough at the time you pull it. Makes it easier he said. Seriosuly though...I can't believe anyone would want to do it themselves. Good luck.
DO NOT!!! you are such a help to me....I cannot believe it...I have never reacted like this to something...although I have recently develpoed anaphalaxis to NSAIDS. I am calling tomorrow.
Thanks everyone. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday. I won't do it myself! :)
