Update 1 1/2 weeks after Mirena removal

After coping with terrible anxiety (even worse than when I had the Mirena)for four days after removal, I finally started to feel a little better on the fifth day. I'm feeling better every day--I forgot what it's like not to walk around 24-7 with that gut-wrenching anxiety. I've been really tired though--my body wants to catch up on all the sleep I missed during the four awful months when I had the Mirena. I'm still having a few problems with bleeding. I started a period two days after the removal (caused by the sudden drop in progestin, I suspect); I stopped bleeding for about a day and now have been spotting again. My doctor said everything should resolve itself within two weeks. We'll see--it'll be two weeks in four days. Tweet
