Hi, All! I went to the doctor on August 10th and had my Mirena taken out. My strings had retracted up into the uterus and I was VERY worried. It was a breeze.I didn't feel a thing, well maybe a little pressure was all. It didn't take long at all, to remove. I told my doctor that this thing was draining the life out of me. I was ready to hear This is not a side effect or this is not a side effect etc. He told me that Mirena has alot of side effects that are not even listed. My mouth dropped open. Wasn't prepared for that one. I started telling him just a few side effects I've had and the non stop bleeding since DEC 2008. He said he would definitely remove it. After my removal light bleeding the next day. On Sunday it started, I bleed HEAVY HEAVY blood clots and all, until the following Sunday and then it just stopped completely. I'm currently waiting my normal 28days to see if I get my normal period back. As for side effects My back where I could barely stand up. The pain is gone. I can get up and down fine without pain. My hair has stopped falling out by the had fulls. Memory loss is improving. Sex drive coming back. I've just noticed little things that I would complain about not even bring them up. I'm sure over time I'll notice more improvements. I'm so glad to have Mirena Out of my life. Also thankful to have understanding doctor. Sorry for spelling and sentences.
