If you've had an IUD removed

After having Mirena for almost 2 years, I couldn't stand the side effects any more. Progesterone and I just aren't friends. I was getting depressed, moody, and sex wasn't even remotely interesting. I had it removed at the end of April. I'm still feeling a little whacked out. The fact that I'm breaking out like a preteen doesn't help much either!

How long did it take you to feel "normal" again?

    My sex drive came back pretty fast, and then I've been on the usual menstrual cycle hormone rollercoaster since. Nothing worse than pre-Mirena, except for my first real post-Mirena period was very heavy (but it was my first real period in over 2 years, and my first real period post-baby so who knows what it would have been like anyway). It can take some people a few cycles to feel back to normal after hormonal birth control, so how things go depend on your body. Hopefully you'll be feeling more like yourself soon!

    I got mine out over 2 months ago and am FINALLY tonight seeing a little blood aka first period in over 2 and a half years and I am thrilled. I loved my mirena and had no complaints the entire 2.5 years I had it in but I have had really bad zits since. I am just excited to finally have my period again. I hope it is not super heavy. Should I be scared?

    I had Mirena for 3 1/2 years and just got it removed June 11. I didn't have a period for the last 2-2 1/2 years. AF finally returned June 24 and I feel great. I never had any serious side effects other than the occasional break out but I do feel more "normal". Everyone reacts differently. I do think exercise and pre-natal vitamins helped me feel "normal", but really that could all be in my head. Good luck, I know it's hard waiting.
