I am also 5 months post and I had a setback the last 3 days, yesterday was better and today feels fine so I don't know what the heck is going on, but it is so frustrating! I keep telling myself that tis will be the last time I feel crappy, but every month I have 1-7 days that I am just not normal. I hate it, When will it be over? I don't think that setbacks are uncommon, there have been recent post from other that have had a relapse during the 4-5 month.

HI Aussiegirl,

I am on my 5th period and I felt for a while also on the square one again. It is unbelievable but 3 or 4 more people reported a setback/another Mirena crash... 4 -months post removal (or 4 and 5 th period). I hope that this is the sign that body is finally rebalancing.

I was felling so well already, I started to eat and I gained a few pounds... so I don't know maybe I contributed to the crash... estrogen likes fat cell. I am desperate enough so I bought the progesterone cream and I will using it a week (10 days) before my period next months to avoid (hopefully) another crash.

My body reacted to mirena after 9 months, so I am giving it 9 months to recover. If after a year (and that will be on Dec 22) post-removal I am still with so much anxiety ..for almost 1/3 of the months... I will consider AD.

Please read all the post about crash post-removal (4/5 months) from last week.

I hope that you are feeling better.

Let me know if I can be of any help.
