I had my Mirena put in on April 7th 2009, so about 3.5 weeks ago. Immediately I regretted my decision, the intense pain and cramping at insertion was not what I was expecting or bargained for. I had to sit in the doctors office for 45 minutes till I could gain my composure back and I have a high tolerance of pain. That night I could not sleep, I got 3 hrs sleep for the first two nights, only 6 on night 3 and it hasn't gotten any better since. Hot flashes, headaches, back pain, moodiness with my children and the constant bleeding since insertion combined with the insomnia is enough to make me have this thing removed. I called my doctor after another night of 3 hrs sleep last night and I am getting it removed at 1:30 today! I can not wait, especially after reading all of the stories on here I know this is the right decision for me. My greatest concern is now what? Will my insurance pay for me to have tubal ligation now after having paid for this only 3 weeks ago? That is the chance I will have to take. A mother of 3 little ones needs her sleep for her sanity!
