I have had the Merina for 2 years and IC for 4 months. It makes me think about getting it out. I would also be interested if anyone else has had their IUD removed with positive results. I also have a lot of kidney pain and can't find if anyone else has this in conjuction with IC. Let me know.
Girl...you should get that thing out! I would never want to go through the pain and discomfort of IC again. It took about two weeks for it to be completely gone but it has not returned at all!
