depending on your income and whether you have insurance, Planned Parenthood may be able to remove it for free. I know I recieved free birth control there for years before I had health insurance, and when I was making very little money.

However, considering the long-term costs of keeping the Mirena in -- emotionally, but also through related medical expenses (I've probably spent around $2,000 out of pocket this last year getting tested for autoimmune conditions, allergies, getting eye treatment, and seeking naturopathic care) $120 is worth it. I had my suspicions about Mirena, but left it in for the same reason, which was much more expensive in the long-run, and my medical problems only got worse the longer it was left in.

I am also one of the minority, like you, who lost weight on Mirena. I am also 5'8, and at the worst of this, was down to 106 pounds and feeling too nauseated to eat. Scary and not fun! It's now 5 months post removal and I have gained some weight back and am starting, very slowly to feel more normal.

Best of luck to you, and hoping you get the Mirena removed ASAP!
