So I had the Mirena removed today. I was very anxious as the insertion was very painful. so I went did it and have been happily free from Mirena for about 9 hours! I feel so awesome!! It was not as bad as the insertion. My bloating has gone down alot, my breasts are not sore. It's crazy that in 9 hours you can start feeling the benefits from the removal. I'm giving my body a break. The feeling of relief that flooded over me right after the removal was priceless! Screw Mirena!! It's the devil! Thank you for all of your support ladies! Vee Hey ladies!!

I'm Mirena free now, and I really feel great!! With Mirena, my hair was falling like I can make noodles out of it!! I'm glad that I trusted what my body was saying!!! The removal wasn't bad as insertion. Clara is right the speculum, hurt a bit but that was it, your not gonna feel that it's out already. I also took Tylenol before and after the removal. I bled after the Mirena was taken out like I had a period,(one week I think) then one month with no period and after one month my cycle came back. Good luck girls and hope to hear from you soon!

It wasn't so bad. It actually went pretty quickly, and I almost asked 'is it out already?' The worst part is that stupid thing they stick in you....what's that called, a speculum? I did take a couple Tylenol about half an hour before I went in for the appointment....I think that helped. Good luck.....well worth getting it out though.....I'm so glad I did!

I am going tomorrow to get it removed and I am scared sh*tless. The insertion was very painful. Any moral support from anyone who has had it removed will be much appreciated. Thanks Vee Clara,

I experienced severe depression, fatigue, extreme hair loss, cramping, bloating, vaginal odor, no sex drive, and suicidal thoughts (which is totally unlike me....never happened before....that's one of the major factors in my decision to have it taken out!) I even had a headache, fever, and chills on two occasions. I've never been so miserably sick in my life. I think my body was trying to have a period....but I didn't bleed. I had the Mirena taken out on Friday. Of course, my doctor said that my symptoms, except for the cramping, had nothing to do with the Mirena. I felt like an idiot, but I told her I didn't care what the medical opinion is....I just had to listen to my body. By Saturday afternoon, I noticed that I felt much better. I went to the bathroom and found that I had gotten my period. I was never so happy to see that! My mood has changed. My two months of constant PMS is over! I woke up this morning refreshed, instead of wanting to crawl back in bed for the whole day. And I even had a sex dream....which hasn't happened since I got the Mirena in. I'm relieved that maybe my sex drive is back. I never had the best sex drive, but I missed what I had once it was gone. I just wanted to thank everyone for the comments. It helped me to make my decision. And I'm glad I got the Mirena out! Clara P.S. - I will have to post again later when I see what happens with my hair.

I would definitely pay attention to any irregular symptoms you may experience. Mood swings, irregular cramping and bloating. You may think that it may be due to PMS, but the symptoms for me only worsened. Please be careful and listen to what your body is saying. Hope all goes well :) Vee Hey Amanda Marie,

After reading all of these posts I must say I am so relieved to know that I'm not alone. I thought I was going crazy or something. The insertion was extremely painful and the cramps afterwards made me feel like I was going to kill over. I've had on going mood swings, irritability, depression, nausea, severe acne & hair loss! My mensrual cycles have a horrible smell like I've never smelled before! I'm keeping it real ladies. I feel pregnant half the time and I crave salty or citrus like foods. My body has not been the same since I got the Mirena inserted 8 months ago, it has been hell! I will be going to the doctors getting this crap removed this coming week! My hormones are off the charts! It has definitely affected my family / home because of my mood swings and depression. My whole face looks a mess with all of this acne and breakouts. I'm using enough MAC makeup for two people to cover my acne! I've never had acne on my face like this. I have long hair and my hair is shedding like crazy, especially when I wash it I have hand fulls of hair coming out, it's scary. Mirena should be taken off of the market. I know that we as individuals must take responsbility of our bodies, but the FDA should take in consideration that they're approval of these methods are causing great harm to women's bodies. Just about every BC method on the market has moderate to severe side affects. WTF!! I'm angry that I was foolish enough to have this method inserted in the first place! A cheap way to avoid pregnancy but added more health problems to my body. This was definitely a wake up call for me ladies. Thanks for sharing all your posts... I wouldn't recommend Mirena for anyone! Thanks~ I’m 39 yrs old. After reading all of these posts I must say I am so relieved to know that I’m not alone. I thought I was going crazy or something.

Because until now, I thought I was going crazy. I am 24 years old and have had the Mirena in for about a 1 1/2 yrs. My husband and I thought it to be a great way of waiting to start a family, without having the cost of a co pay every month for birth control RX or for me not to have to suffer from the side effects I had experienced prior from the pill and Nuva ring. We are sad to say, sorely mistaken. As I am enlightened by all of your posts I have decided to have the Mirena removed due to the side effects I am experiencing. Like most of you, I was ill informed by my Doctor about ALL of the side effects. What I am experiencing is now ruining my daily life, to the point where I am physically and psychologically unable to work full time any more. Major Anxiety (panic attacks), depression, decreased sexual drive, sore breasts ALL THE TIME, restless sleep and severe cramping and bloating all the time have taken over my life. I use to be a fun loving carefree individual and until now had no idea what I had become or why. Before these web postings i thought I was just losing it. I would like to thank all the women who shared their stories and I hope mine continues the chain of awareness on how Mirena is not the cheap or easy contraceptive. Thanks for reading Vee Hi,

I had mirena inserted about a month ago. I had it inserted during my period and it stoped my period. I have been irregualr since i had my son in Feb of 08. I have had a little spotting here and there. But nothing that i haven't had before. One thing that is new is the rusty metal smell to my discharge, it is super gross. I thought i had a bacterial vaginosis...but i do not. I have actually lost weight, about 3 lbs. since i have had the insertion. I am not sure what all of your activity levels are but i am a very active person.I am 21 and I am a gymnast and a gymnastics coach. So i am in good shape. i am going to get a follow up here soon to see if it has moved and to ask about the rusty smelling discharge, i will keep u posted. Hi,
