I had my mirena IUD removed two days ago after having it in for 7 months. My doctor suggested I get the IUD when I came in for my postpartum checkup (after the birth of my second child). He made it sound like such a great idea, so I went along with it, and was miserable from that day forward. I had a lot of pelvic pain - it would hurt inside when I was sitting in the car or leaning back at a certain angle, and I had other random pains. I had NO sex drive and was constantly upset with my husband, which was frustrating because I don't usually feel that way. I had some huge blood clots/bright red bleeding that started today, and will see how much more I bleed in the upcoming week. But I am SO happy to have the IUD OUT!!! I feel like a normal person again.
