Re: Mirena IUD Side Effects : followup

Hello again,

It has been almost 4 weeks since I've had the IUD removed. I am very happy that I had it out. I feel like me again. Not only do I have less of a feeling of bloatedness, but I also don't feel so irritable all the time. I feel like my sex drive is returning also.I no longer have discharge at all time either. After I had the IUD removed 2 days later I began to bleed, heavily. I did not know when I was supposed to get my period next so I was rather surprised. I bled heavily for 8 days straight, clotting and all, I was soaking through a tampon and making a large mark on the pad I was also wearing. I was very shocked at this because I had the IUD in for over a year and had not bled like this the whole time. Where had this all come from? A back up from all those months? That thought was scary to me. I was rather alarmed. But it stopped finally. My biggest complaint was the way my hormones went all out of wack. I was a complete mess for 2-1/2 weeks. I had never in my life been so messed up.
Well its all over now. Thank God. I will never place another foreign object in my body unless its life threatening. Now my biggest dilema will be what to use for birth control now.I think either having my tubes tied or my husband having a vasectomy will do it
