I went to have my Mirena taken out today. I must admit I will not be looking forward to having a period and this coil did do what it said on the tin but at what cost. I told the nurse all of my side effects in the hope that she would be sympathetic. She told me that my weight gain was not due to the coil. What about my heavy painful breasts?. Well yes they are a side effect. She told me I was depressed because I had gained weight and that my sex life had stopped. Who said it had stopped just didn't enjoy it as much. What about my tiredness. She then went off and got a doctor who came in and told me that my weight gain and tiredness was probably due to a thyroid condition. But I had my thyroid checked last year. I then said that I need to exercise and that I did not want to put on any more weight because my father died at 48 of a heart attack and she then told me that i needed councelling because I am obsessed with my weight. I am totally convinced that all of my side effects are from this coil and I no longer have it. Hoorah. I will let you know how I get on. I feel I have totally made the right decision. I never thought I would wish to have periods and PMS. Bring it on at least I will be normal. By the way I didn't feel it being removed and nothing now.
