Recovering after removal of the Mirena has been fairly quick and constant for me. I removed it myself last Wednesday night and when I woke up the next morning I no longer wanted to kill myself or anyone else:) It was that immediate of an improvement. I still had migraines for the next couple of days, but then they stopped. It took about five to six days for my hair to stop falling out. My breasts stopped hurting on about day three or four. My skin started to clear up immediately too. I was blemish free by day four. The brain fog started to lift around day three or four. I don't know how soon this resumed, but I have actual energy again! I started to spot a bit on day two and then got my period on day five, right on schedule. My period has been a breeze. It hasn't been any heavier than before Mirena and it's absolutely wonderful compared to when I had Mirena. When I had my period with Mirena, I experienced morning sickness symptoms and vomited intermittently throughout the day - the entire time. I read somewhere that other women found herbal detox helpful after removal and I did that for a few days before my period started and I plan to resume it after my period. I am very happy with my decision to remove it.
