Hi... I've had the mirena taken out 7 months ago. I feel better and the side effects are pretty much almost gone now except for the lack of sex drive. It almost seemed I was getting it back the first few weeks after removal and now it's back to zero. There was a week I actually felt like my old self before mirena but it only lasted about 5 days. My periods are on time with some spotting I had last month which was oddly the time I felt normal for a week. The question I have is how long did it take for you to feel normal again? Did you eventually get your desire back? I'm only 35 and I have no history of early menopause and I only experienced the side effects of mirena just about 6 months before removal which is why I had it taken out. I had it in for 3.5 years.
