Hi everyone im a 22 year old mother of two. In April of 2008 i had mirena inserted and like all of you have had all of the side effects associated with it..... hair loss, anxiety, weight gain, lower back and ab pain, ovary pain, acne, depression, mood swings and so on.. after finding this site and reading many posts i made an appointment to have this thing removed... For me the benefits did not out weight the side effects... so i had it removed 1 week ago... spotting there after and a full blown period that has not gotten any lighter (again, has been a week) .. usually i do expect to be on my period for a week with the second and third day being the ones with the most flow but i have not gotten any lighter and i am menstruating blood clots!!! does anyone know if this is normal??? I mean big clots,,, i have never had this happen before... i did call the doctor office where i had it removed and from what i understood its normal but it just doesn't feel right.... im starting to think i was pregnant and am having a miscarriage except i have no pain... ( first day of last period was July 9, 2009) went in to have mirena removed 8-18-09.... did this happen to anyone else??? oh one more thing,,, i do have a bit of lower back pains... i appreciate any replays thank you

After reading these posts and comparing my symptoms, I had my Mirena taken out on august 10th. I did have a very heavy period for a week. It looked like it was letting up, then the flow and clots increased. I felt so much better after the period...less bloated, cleaner, a little refreshed. I'm looking forward to all those bad symptoms to disappear. Also, the nurse who took mine out didn't deny my complaints, but instead nodded and smiled in agreement.

I had mine taken out last Monday. I started bleeding severely on Wednesday. It is now Monday again and I am still bleeding huge clots and quite often. I have only bleed this much when I had a miscarriage several years ago. I have a call in to the dr now. I hope this doesn't last much longer. I am anemic and felt very weak yesterday, so I've had to take extra iron pills. I really hope this stops soon. I have 4 kids to take care of. I hated this IUD!! It has made my life miserable.
