I had the Mirena removed on August 30th. I immediately felt a sense of calm and knew I had done the right thing. My midwife was very supportive and understanding. She said that some women are just extremely sensitive to the hormones from it (and other forms of bc). The removal was not painful, only slightly uncomfortable. I have had some bleeding since, but nothing bad. I just cannot express how much better I feel-it's as though a huge weight has been lifted from me. The anxiety, anger, all of the horrible side effects are GONE. Another thing I noticed (TMI warning) is that the first time my husband and I had sex after it was removed was that I no longer had any pain when he hit my cervix. And he says it's much better for him, since he is no longer getting poked by the strings. Getting it removed was the best thing I could have done. I will never take a chemical form of bc again, so I have decided to commit myself to FAM (the Fertility Awareness Method). I just bought the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and it is AMAZING. I highly recommend it. If you are suffering Mirena side effects-LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Don't let a doctor tell you that Mirena is not the cause of what is happening to you. Best of luck to everyone.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Mirena. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Mirena, then we encourage you to enter it here.
