I had my Mirena removed this afternoon and I was surprised that I noticed a difference already. I had had cramping and a sort of achey 'full' feeling since getting Mirena inserted but over the course of nearly six months I became used to it. I expected to have alot of cramping after having it removed but amazingly my whole lower pelvic area felt so much BETTER! That constant achey full feeling went away immediately!! I had gotten to the point that the bad feelings became normal so that I didn't really pay attention to them anymore...but I certainly noticed when they suddenly went AWAY. I have not had any cramping whatsoever in the last 8.5 hours since the removal and have had no need for so much as one Tylenol. I am SO happy to be RID of that awful device!!!! Now let's hope some of this weight starts to drop off!!
