I'm feeling the same as many of you ladies on here- it's certainl...

I know exactly how you feel!!! How did you take yours out on your own? When you felt pregnant did you have nausea/throwing up and even tender/larger boobs? I want mine out too and don't have insurance or much money...

I did go to the doctor, my strings had dissappeared- when he first told me this he was like "it's not big deal, just when you want it out it will be a bit of a search and destroy mission"- I'm like, dude, how about you say search and rescue- I already feel like I have destroyed my insides. I hate to say it, but you should have a doctor do it, you wouldn't want to risk any bacteria in there that shouldn't be there. Call your doc, talk to him/her about the money issue and perhaps you can work something out.
When I felt pregnant it was the exhaustion, the boobs, the nausea/heartburn that was very specific to my pregnancies (a very particular burn- I always knew about the day I got pregnant it was so distinct). Now i have these feelings all the time and I have yet to get a positive test. Last month it was so intense, my breasts, the burning in my stomache and I was sooooo tired. I say get it out however you can- good luck friend:)

Not sure of your ago....Mirena thrust me into premature menopause. I only had it for 5 months and after removal, never got my period again. Dr was shocked. Blood tests confirmed I was post-menopausal. Not saying that this is what will happen to you -- I hope NOT -- just be aware that this "local" hormone can get into your system more than we have been led to believe. I would not let it go too much longer before asking for bloodwork to see where you are fertility-wise. Good luck to you, I hope things go well.

I meant to say "Not sure of your age"...not "ago"! Sorry.

haha- I figured as much. I have a sonogram this friday to check my ovaries ,I had a few months where mid-cycle pain would last a week and was very serious, then it went away so I thought it was a fluke. Now I'm concerned. I'll consider your bloodtest when I go to talk and have my annual exam next week. Can I assume the red1964 means you were born that year? How old are you- just curious because of your "symptom"- how scary this thing has turned out to be. Thanks for your post!
