Have been reading all the messages re the mirena and have decided to have mine removed as I have had nothing but bad health over the last five years. Have been using Mirena for over 10 years and am on my 3rd, drs have always told me that my problems are nothing to do with the coil but i am not so sure now. What I would like to know has anyone out there had theirs removed and has stopped bleeding and has actually started to lose weight.
