YAY!!!! I had my Mirena removed today!!! I feel so much better already! I went to my appt. armed with information. My OB/GYN is a great guy! He was so happy to remove it for me and said that 5% of women have problems with the Mirena. I personally think that number is quite a bit higher but at any rate I had copied down several websites for him and also a nurses' post about her symptoms and problems and I copied my own post and printed all this off and took it with me to the appt. I gave it to him and he looked over it briefly. He told me that I sounded like a completely different person from my appt. last week. I explained to him that it was because it was so "freeing" to know that I'm not psychotic and that I was going to be my old self again once he removed the stupid Mirena. He agreed because he knows the real me (I've had 5 of my 8 children delivered by him). He knows how much I love being a mom and that I am NOT normally a depressed person! He saw my list of symptoms and agreed that they don't tell you all those possible side effects in the pamphlet. When he was all done the nurse went to put the papers I had given him in my file and he told her no way. He told her to put them on his desk because he wanted to make the websites available to his other patients who might be considering the Mirena so that they will be informed before making their decision. What an awesome doctor!!!
