Hello - I had the Mirena removed yesterday (thank gosh). A little background, I had it in for about 1 yr and during that time experienced, food intolerance (in a bad way), headaches severe, constant bloating and pressure in my stomach, dizziness, hair loss, cystic acne, fatique, ,chills, vomiting during my cycle, daily nausea that progressively got worse as I neared my cycle, Anyways, went to my family doctor and had many tests done (not realizing it was the Mirena causing the problem). They couldnt' figure out the problem, I work out 4 days a week, am a healthy weight for my size, eat healthy (I actually changed my eating habits to accomodate the fact that milk, bread, dairy no longer agreed with my stomach) and finally I went online and researched side effects of mirena and lo and behold - that was my problem. I had it removed yesterday and no symptoms today (was sick, headache, yesterday) and it will take a few cycles to get all the 'Mirena' out of my system BUT my advice (as a non Doctor) is to wait a few cycles if you are trying to get pregnant to ensure that your hormone levels are some your own again. As far as the string removal, you should have your doctor answer that but definately get it removed and/or replaced. It seems that, given your symptoms, you need to decide if you can live with those symptoms in order to maintain birth control. However, remember that a lot of times, the body will have symptoms because it's your bodies way of telling you it doesn't like the Mirena. I know there are many people that love the Mirena and have no side effects but the fact is that some of us are unable to use the Mirena because the side effects are too much. Good Luck!
thank you so much finally light at the end of the tunnel cant wait to eat a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and not in agony twenty minutes later i have been trying to tell the drs for ages that i thought it was the mirena instinct was telling me it was the mirena because it all started after it was implanted i hated the fact i pretty much had to go on a rabbits diet think grass would be the safest thing to eat with out gluten or lactose the side effects should be made more readily available the dr didnt really know much about the mirena just how to put it in i definitely wont be going back on the mirena after this one its been suggested tube tied so now husband and i discussing is this really going to be the last one one thing i found with milk intolerance and my youngest also lactose intolerance was heat treated milk we can both drink that no trouble but the fresh stuff makes us sick so if you have any future trouble give that a try im glad your symptoms have improved not as nervous and actually excited to possibly having a normal life with prospect of energy thank you for giving me hope good luck with you also :-)
Ik a girl who get pregnant 3 days after her Mirena was removed it all depends on ur body.
