-After seeing this website and several others, I made the decision to have the IUD removed, and I couldn't have been more excited and happier to do so. There was no pain when it was removed, and it was very quick. The doctors and nurses that I spoke to about the Mirena, really could have cared less to what I had to say about it. They removed it, and then left the room...yeah, I felt really cared for. Needless to say, I was extremely moody and began my period 1 day after having it removed. I felt a sense of normalcy by having my period, and my body was functioning as it should. It has now been a week and I feel extremely better, although I was told it would take several weeks for the hormone to leave the system. I really am outraged at our health care, and it's physicians, it would be nice to be informed of potential side effects that can occur. But most of the docs will tell you that it can't possibly the mirena, even though you felt normal before insertion, and it is the only foreign thing in your body...Remove it if you have one, don't let it get the best of you..Good luck
