This post is for the ladies who wonder will they feel better or notice any change after having the mirena removed. This is my own personal experience . I've had it out for about 2 weeks now after having it in for 3 1/2 years. I feel Great! I couldn't have a panic attack if I wanted to. I have had more energy, haven't had a headache. I have a returned sex drive. Sadly my hair is still very thin and patchy. The big kicker is I've lost 4 lbs as of today. My stomach now looks like I'm 3 months pregnant as opposed to 5 months. The big difference is noticed in my face and waistline. I don't feel so hungry all the time now and feel motivated to keep this going. I haven't had one heart palpitation since either. Yes I still yell sometimes, but not out of anger or rage. It's now to be heard over the yelling and screaming of my happy kids who used to cower because of my yelling that was so mean spirited and full of frustration from being so tired and feeling ill most all the time. I just worked last night 13 hrs got 5 hours of sleep today picked the kids up from school, played with them and cooked dinner to boot. I would have been in bed 2 weeks ago waiting for my husband to come home and rescue me. This has been my experience thus far and I keep posting to give those ladies hope that they can feel better once they get mirena removed. I hope others will have a positive experience with removal like I have had. Good Luck and Happy Recovery.

I am so glad to hear you are feeling better. I have had the Mirena for 1 1/2 years now. I am so irritable and can fly off the handle at the littlest thing. I have had abnormal bleeding and discharge the last couple weeks following an episode of bleeding with mucous following sex. My husband and i both cannot find the strings. i am wondering if it came out. i have been crampy but lately have been getting cysts on my ovaries. so i just thought thats what is was. I am so confused, scared, nervous, and angry. Not to mention the WEIGHT !!!!!!!! i weigh more now than i did when i gave birth!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just not sure what other birth control options i have because i am a smoker and 30.
Glad to hear that this all goes away after removal. i am going to call my MD.
Take care...
