i had the mirena inserted after my third child, may 2006. the hairloss started right away, but i did not contribute to mirena.the first year was great. everything the doctors and pamphlets said it would be. no periods, birth control thats inserted and you forget about it.my mom always said if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is! after the first year, symptoms were so gradual. the depression,moodiness,low libido,weight gain, muscel and joint pain,and the hair loss. it never stopped. my hair was always really thick and much longer. now with every trim, it gets shorter and thinner and thinner and shorter. i had it removed 3 weeks ago. im not hearing a lot about regrowth with the hair.im hoping women are having their hair grow back and too busy being happy about it to get on their computers.anyone having regrowth of their hair, please update. how long did it take to have a normal period again?

Have faith, my hair did start to grow back right after removal! About six weeks post removal, I had these weird little hairs growing in all along my hair line and sticking up along my part, and now, 7 months later, those little hairs are blended in and things are getting back to normal. My periods are still a little weird and difficult to predict, but overall, I'd say 95% of the symptoms I attributed to the Mirena have completely gone away after having it removed. It gets better, so take good care of yourself, eat a healthy diet, take a multivitamin, get some exercise, and know that things will improve with time.
