Hi there. I am so glad I found this website too. My mirena was ...

Hello there,
I just had mine removed this past Friday. It was quick and easy, they insertied the scope (like with a PAP) and then I felt a pinch inside and that was it. I started my period on Sunday and it was light and I think I am done today. I have read others that had a horrible time with getting it removed, but mine was really easy. Good luck!!

I had mine out a month ago and it was so easy didn't hurt at all. She said I might have some spotting and I didn't even have that.

Hi Sarah1975,

I have already made 2 postings today thus far. However, I wanted to make one directly to you. I had my Mirena removed today, as I experienced the exact symptoms you had. The removal process was not painful at all. It only took a minute or so, and I felt a slight "tug" as the Doctor removed it, but other than that, it was not painful at all compared to having it inserted.
My symptoms were extremely severe, and I now know they were all related to the Mirena, as I already feel "normal" again just 12 hours upon having it removed! The Doctor tried convincing me the Mirena wasn't to blame for the numerous symptoms I displayed. But, I knew otherwise, and dso do you. We all know our bodies better than anyone, and just because some people don't experience problems, doesn't mean that others don't. I highly recommend having it removed! I assure you that you won't regret it!

My was removed in about 40 seconds. Just like a smear test but easier. He just pulled the strings and hardly felt a thing. I am so relieved to have it out. You so should get it out as your story is identical to mine with aches and pains/ moods/depression/bloating etc. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and put on anti depressants. Thought I was going mad. Got it out today so goodbye aches pains/moods and all that other crap I have put up with for 2 years.
