Mirena and healthy hair

Hi...I had my the Mirena place in 8/08. I have noticed an increased amount of hair loss over the last 6 months( patchy areas). I have always had healthy hair and never experienced hair loss such as this. I thought maybe it was related to stress and pregnancy. My hair dresser recommends taking vitamins and eating healthy and that it is normal to shed hair daily...but not like this! After reading the posted reviews, I am now convinced that it must be the Mirena. My thyroid hormone level was normal in 6/09. Has anyone had the Mirena removed and noticed any change in the loss of hair?

Thanks...worried!

I had my Mirena inserted after my second child in March 2009. I didn't have any difficulty with the insertion, but shortly after I started having severe headaches (about once a week) and bled on random occasions. About a month ago my family and I moved, and when we started living in our new house I noticed my hair falling out in huge clumps, which is something new to me because I have always had thick, healthy hair. I figured it was the stress from moving but when it didn't stop I came across this website and found out it was a side effect from Mirena. I put in a call today to the doctor to see about taking this thing out. Maybe I can take some extra vitamins to fix it that way I can keep the Mirena. If not it is coming out.

I HAVE HAD THE MIRENA FOR ALMOST 3YEARS NOW THAT I AM READING WHAT EVERYONE SAYING I HAVE ALL THE EFFECTS THE THE WORST ONE IS LOSING MY HAIR I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS BECAUSE OF THE MIRENA OR NOT PLEASE IF ANYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM PLEASE TELL ME

I had Mirena inserted 8 weeks after I had my second child. I was excited to start a new form of birth control thinking it might be our last child and with the 5 year no worry plan I was all in. I have experienced only a few major side effects. The first is extremely bad acne which I never had and major hair thinning on the crown of my head. I had it for a year and the hair loss has been very gradual and I didn't pay much attention because I have always had super thick healthy hair. I had it removed last week. Any help or suggestions as to how long before I see these side effects improve? Will I get my beautiful hair back?
