Well, I've been Mirena free for three weeks! I'm not sure if the side effects are gone yet, a week after removal I was hospitalized for "sludge" in my bile ducts and was there for a week! I've just started my period today and am wondering how long the clotting will last. Also has anybody heard about the lawsuit against the makers of Mirena? I faxed my info to the lawyers office, but havent heard whether or not they think we have a case.
