I was the only person I know that had the Mirena affect their sex drive like this, so I'm kind of relieved I'm not the only one! Hopefully things are back to normal for you now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667781 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 22:19:40 +0000 maddyz 2667781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also killed my sex drive and made me a bit not excited about anything. It was such a relief to get it out, I had no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667780 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 22:17:56 +0000 maddyz 2667780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't bleed when I got my out, but my first period after was crazy, chunky, I had to stay home from work for two days it was such a mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667533 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 14:48:09 +0000 Adira 2667533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thanks!</p> <p>@Mrs. Toad: Oh wow, that's interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667514 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 14:27:59 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2667514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember any spotting, but I had my normal regular periods on the Mirena. Doctor said that I was probably ovulating while it was in. Next period was on time and exactly the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667511 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 14:22:30 +0000 Smurfette 2667511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: my periods prebaby were 7 days but post Mirena they were 3-4 heavy days and then a day or two of spotting after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667503 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 14:18:15 +0000 Adira 2667503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I had it removed because it completely killed my sex drive. :crying: BUT from talking to other people, including my doctor, I think that's not the normal experience for people. I just got extra unlucky. Besides that, I loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667500 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 14:15:47 +0000 travellingbee 2667500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: can I ask why you are removing it? Did you not like it?i still can't decide what kind of bc to use at 1 year pp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667480 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:42:34 +0000 Adira 2667480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Did it last any longer than your normal period?</p> <p>@2littlepumpkins: Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667479 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:40:37 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2667479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I definitely had heavy bleeding (only had mine 2.5 months or so and bled pretty much that entire time, too) and I can't remember about the clots but I get clots often enough that I could just forget. I bled a couple days within having it and then stopped for maybe a week and then had a heavy period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667464 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:33:34 +0000 Smurfette 2667464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no spotting nothing when I got mine out. Two weeks later I got my period. Way way heavier then pre-mirena/baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667415 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 12:40:09 +0000 Adira 2667415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: @kiddosc: Totally jealous of you ladies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667334 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 11:26:52 +0000 kiddosc 2667334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was super light, but I've always had light periods. I started bleeding two days after removal, but it only lasted a few days. My first cycle after that was short, but my next period was typical for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667324 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 11:17:33 +0000 Banana330 2667324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was super light like two days of spotting light bleeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667320 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 11:15:04 +0000 Adira 2667320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GardenFloral: Thanks for sharing your experience!</p> <p>@MrsA: Thank you! Sounds similar to what I've been experiencing. So hopefully after about two weeks, it'll go away!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667261 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:22:44 +0000 MrsA 2667261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had about two weeks of very heavy bleeding after mine was removed. Like flashback to junior high, bleeding through tampons and pads and onto clothes and sheets heavy. It tapered off after that. I think the first real period was heavy but then normal after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667248 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:07:30 +0000 GardenFloral 2667248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my period returned after 2 weeks of removal. It's been a while but I think it was a pretty heavy and then leveled off and became normal.</p> <p>Honestly though I think everyone has a different experience, and doesn't necessarily mean that what you are experiencing is wrong compared to how others are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667219 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:37:31 +0000 Adira 2667219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: Thanks for sharing! Maybe this heavy bleeding is fairly normal. Although how long it's lasting is annoying... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667218 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:36:31 +0000 Adira 2667218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: haha, "end of days" is an apt description!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: Yeah, I was thinking this seems REALLY heavy, but I know it's not abnormally heavy since I don't have to change my pad constantly. But you're giving me hope that this is normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667217 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:35:02 +0000 peachykeen 2667217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much the same as @oliviaoblivia: though even the heavy period lasted my usual length (5 days). It was rough for a couple days but wasn't nearly as bad as I was anticipating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667213 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:33:01 +0000 yoursilverlining 2667213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a heavy period within about a week of my Mirena being removed. I can't remember if there were clots, to be honest. I remember thinking it seemed realllllly heavy, but after having no periods for several years, I can't trust that it was legit heavy or if my version of "normal" had just shifted. :silly: After that one, I resumed having a totally normal period every 30 days, like I had pre-Mirena </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667210 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:30:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2667210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came out and I spotted.<br /> Then two weeks later I had a normal period. Then a month later it was the end of days. Biblical, Red Sea type bleeding. </p> <p>After that I was completely normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal-experiences#post-2667207 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:20:03 +0000 Adira 2667207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you share your experience after having the Mirena removed? Specifically related to bleeding and clotting?</p> <p>I had the Mirena removed two weeks ago. Five days after it was removed, I started bleeding fairly heavily with clots. It had started to lighten up after a week, so I thought it was just a long heavy period, but now it's heavy again with more clots. This is day 11. </p>
