Hi ladies! I have had the mirena for 2 years and just had it removed 2 days ago. I originally had it put in because of heavy bleeding/clotting. I am 42 yrs old and have endometriosis. When I first got that thing implanted I thought it was great. I thought, wow, no more heavy periods. Well let me tell you, I would rather have a heavy period than to have dark brown spotting every day of my life! All of my underwear are stained. Besides having that yucky brown spotting everyday I also started experiencing severe right ovary pain and lower back pain. My lower ab was always tender. I suffered from anxiety and insomnia. As soon as the mirena was taken out (it did NOT hurt at all at removal) my lower back pain was gone. The achiness in my pelvic/lower ab felt relieved. It was like my uterus cried out rejoicefully and thanked me for taking that foreign object out. The doctor showed it to me and it is BIG. I couldn't believe I had that thing inside my body for 2 years! I slept really good the past 2 nights and was able to sleep on my stomach which I have not been able to because of the pelvic tenderness. I have had steady bleeding as soon as it was removed and its healthy red not brown like it was for 2 years. I am so glad I had it removed and I wish you all good luck with your decisions.
