Hi- just FYI- I was never having a period when I had my Mirena so to take it out I just went in, I didn't wait for any specific time.

I did take Motrin or something before- whatever you usually take to relieve cramping or pain- that helped with the process. My strings were gone so he really had to get in there to get it out- it wasn't too bad though. Good luck and get that sucker out! :)

I didn't wait to have me removed. I called and said I want it out and went. I did have some bleeding a few days after for a couple of days. Then a couple weeks later when I was surpposed to start I did. It was worth it, I feel so much better now that it is gone.
