Has anyone experienced any increase in water retention after they had the Mirena removed? I removed my arch nemesis on Monday and since that time I have experienced a LOT of bloating in fingers/face/stomach, etc., which I did not have when I had the Mirena in. I have also had a pretty strong headache and gained a couple pounds since I removed it. I had trouble losing weight on Mirena but I was able to do it and I am terrified that the weight I lost is now coming back....!!! :(
I had the Mirena for about 22 months and in that time I had ZERO sex drive, devilish mood swings and a lot of anxiety. In the last month or so, I started to get terrible Acne on my neck/back. I really debated the removal primarily because I paid so much for it originally and I didn't want to "lose" on my investment. Finally, I just decided to do it because I just didn't feel like myself....although to be honest, I don't remember what that really feels like anymore...
I am starting to worry that I made the wrong decision because I haven't experienced the "Phew" feeling like a number of other users have reported. I know I won't go back to normal immediately, but I am hoping it is not going to get worse....Maybe it wasn't the Mirena?
Are there any recommended supplements that might alleviate some of the bloat/retention?
Thanks so much!!!

I have had awful problems since the removal of the Mirena IUD. I thought that once I had the thing removed that I would be back to normal again. Unfortunately, I have had nothing but problems for 6 months so far! I have had a 16 pound weight gain in 6 months, more fatigue, severe PMS lasting three weeks, periods are all over the place, and more bloating in the stomach area than before! I do not know what to do, I feel completely out of control! The first two months after removal, I had such awful mood swings, at least that has tapered off some, though Depression is still there, but I think it is due to how crappy I feel! Before I had this awful contraption in, I had NONE of these problems, and now my system is completely out of whack! I just want to feel normal again, and do not know what to do! It has been six months! Anyone out there whom have had similar stories as us? When did you start feeling some relief & did you find use anything to help feel better?

Hi there. I recommend to just be patient. You are recovering for sure, but it is slow for some it seems. I had mirena for 6 years and would guesstimate that I really started feeling pretty 'normal' at about 8-10 months. I have been through a very stressful year after removal and was put on anti anxiety meds. Helped at the time, but as my body seemed to be regulating, the meds seemed to keep me in an unfocused state, so went off of it about the 8 month mark. Since then I have felt more normal except during or just before my cycle. But, happy to say I do not have any more heart palps or anxiety. YAY!!! My periods are coming back at about 1x a month, but much lighter than before mirena. YAY!!! Keep digging here for info and I know you will find lots of support. We all have reacted so differently but yet so much alike. There is light at the end of the tunnell, don't put your chin down. It seems like it takes close to a year for most to feel back to normal. You are almost there. Best decision to have it removed. Good for you. Just try to focus on the good you feel and not the bad. Keep us posted. I think you are going to be surprised at how good you are getting ready to feel.Think Positive.

This is a reply to # 1,605,952Well, I just found this post because of Googling the same issue. I had mine out on Weds, 4/14 -- the same day as your post -- and I'm bloated beyond belief. I am chugging water like crazy trying to shed it.
Would love to hear if you're doing any better. - Re: Water Rentention/side effects af... rbrekke

This is a reply to # 1,605,952I don't have much to update since the 14th...my hands and fingers are still just like little sausages! My rings are TIGHT. I did start finally bleeding...very heavily, almost like after I had my last kiddo. I just feel FULL...I guess that is what it is. And I have a headache that seems like it has been here all week. I keep trying to stay positive, but I really am starting to doubt myself...I just can not gain more weight...
How are you feeling?
A lot of people say they lose the belly bulge...mine appears to be bigger :(
Hope this helps someone!
