I have been reading the comments here for a few weeks. I had the Mirena for almost 5 years. I had it inserted after my 3rd child. I have never been overweight. I gained 25 lbs. Felt bloated and pregnant all the time, and had horrible migraines caused by the hormonal fluctuations. I also felt like ants were crawling all over my body. Last Tuesday, I finally was able to get the Mirena removed. When the GYN removed it I felt a little cramping. That was it. Off and on the rest of the day and the next day I had cramping and a little spotting. Thursday, I started passing huge clots and lots of bright red blood. I came close to passing out. Friday it slowed down a little. I spent most of the weekend in bed and now the blood slowed down. I am feeling better. Less bloated and I lost 5 lbs already. The GYN said it will take 4-6 weeks for my body to get back to normal. Other posts I read say it could take up to 18 months. I would never recommend the Mirena to anyone. I would have removed it sooner but did not have insurance. I tried to do it myself but couldn't get to it. Now I am hoping to get my body back in balance and 25 lbs. Thanks for all your posts.
