Re: Mirena IUD side effects

My symptoms are better, thank you. I still have a little stomach pain and dizziness occasionally but they have definitely let up and I feel like my self again. It was an agonizing decision to take it out. The NP who took it out tried to talk me out of it, telling me about the cost of the device, that maybe it was my diet or exhaustion from having kids. I finally just told her to take it out because I had given it so much thought. I couldn't stand to have it in and have another episode of really bad symptoms. I just had to know that it is not something else causing them. THe first period I got after getting the device out was worse than normal, lasting seven days (they used to last about 4) with PMS symptoms throughout. (I hadn't had a period since before I got pregnant with my 10 mo. old) We'll see how my next period goes. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. It's been really helpful. Tweet
