So I've had the mirena out for 5 weeks now, and my bladder issues and other side effects have almost completely gone away! What a relief! I finally feel somewhat normal again - except I feel irritable and impatient sometimes due to the fact that my hormones are still trying to balance out. I still haven't had a period either, but I'm sure it'll come soon as my body is still trying to reset and get back to normal. My best advice to you, regardless of the side effects you are feeling, GET IT OUT. The doctors most likely won't tell you to. Synthetic hormones are NOT natural. Listen to your body!
