I had my Mirena for 8 years (2 of them of course) and had it removed 9 months ago. No immediate problems once it was removed. Then the spotting started and did not quit for 3 months. I am talking everyday. That finally ended in Feb of this year. I am now on my 3rd period and wondering if this debilitating bleeding will ever let up? I too am experiecing cramping that is like nothing I have experienced and I am used to pelvic pain as I have Interstitial Cystitis and Pelvic floor dysfunction. The bleeding is so heavy it is scary. I super plus tampon an hour (at best). Clots the size of golf balls up to the size of grapefruits. This has been 9 months of a bleeding frenzy and I am just praying that it stops! I too was never given any warning or 'heads up' about any issue after removal. When you are not warned, these symptoms and issues are alarming! I am staying very hydrated and have upped my iron.... How long will this last??!!
