I am almost 30 days post Mirena removal and feeling wonderful. The heavy bleeding and clotting lasted a couple of days and was sometimes frightening due to the large clots! It shouldn't last too much longer for you though. I too felt the "fog" lift within 24 hours. It's defintely worth it. In almost a month I've lost most of the pounds gained on this thing. All the pain...back, joint, pelvic is gone now. Sex drive is back to normal and pain free. I would highly recommend anyone having these symptoms with the Mirena to GET IT OUT!! Don't let the doctors control what you know is going on in your body. You will not regret having it removed.
