Oh Yeah. Before I had the Mirena removed 5 months ago, I got hot flashes every day. So bad that my palms would sweat to the point where I would have to wipe them dry. Since removal though, not one hot flash. And the "baby kicks", I had those too. Spent a fortune on pregnancy tests. All negative. The only side effect I still have from the Mirena is the anxiety. It comes and goes, especially in public places.
