Over a year later and Mirena is still horrible! I just got home from hours at the er and they told me the same thing except my Mirena came out on its own!
I had my mirena in for 11 years (the GP said it was ok to leave it beyond 5 years, but said the hormone was unlikely to be active).
didn't bother getting it removed because whilst I started getting periods again (having had none for around 7 years) they were light and easy.
This year I started getting slightly heavier periods, but not as bad as pre-coil. Then 4 weeks ago (on holiday) whilst having a period, I pulled out a tampon, and there was the coil caught on the end of it! That was a bit of a shocker.
I was going to get a new coil fitted - I've got on well with the Mirena, was 48 and looking a approaching menopause - and accordingly when I started a period, I phoned to arrange a new for a new one to be fitted. Since then, however, I have had the period from hell. Exactly as described by people on this site.
Now I'm wondering when this nightmare will end - and can I ever leave the house again - and whether I should get a new coil fitted!
I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. On one hand this coil should last me to menopause (in theory), and I long for no more periods, but on the other, my bodies reaction, given the hormone should have been long used up, is incredibly scary!

I had it fitted and was only in for 2 days! I was in so much pain and my body swelled I looked 9 months pregnant. I went to A&E to have it removed. Felt better instantly still swollen 2 weeks later and still bleeding. The clots were huge and scary wondering how long this is going to go on... It was only in for 2 days and only had it re my lack on iron!! Don't do it it's not worth it .
I also had my IUD removed a month ago and started bleeding 2 days after and have been bleeding bright red and some clots ever since. My doctor had to have ultra sound and said everything is normal but no one can seem to find out why I am still bleeding . Very frustrating
I had my first Mirena inserted in 2005 and then replaced with another in 2010. The second one would shift and cause horrible cramping and was just removed July 2, 2015. My OBGYN was pushing me to get another, but after all the issues, I wasn't going to. I had about five days of bleeding and minimal cramping afterward. The second cycle came around 28 days, which was heavy and lasted about 6 or 7 days. Now third cycle after removal, and I have been bleeding for over three weeks. I thought it was done yesterday, but no such luck, started again, heavy today.
I have same prob 2 days after removal started heavy painful bleeding with large clots. After nearly 3 weeks & passing out ended up at A & E they said 3 weeks is excessive & put me on 2 types tables to stop bleeding after all usual bloods / OBS came bk normal. So if I were u I'd get checked out & ask about medication. Good luck
I've read several replies and can't find anyone who has had similar symptoms but need help. I had the mirena removed 2 years ago after having it for 5 years. My periods had stopped completely while it was in and then came back on and off after removal. I now have had a period passing medium to large clots for (not at all exaggerating) 3 months. Some days it's lite. Other days it's heavy. Has this happened to anyone else? I have been told that it's my uterus shedding lining after 3 years of not doing so since I wasn't getting a period.
My mirena IUD was expelled a month ago and I am bleeding since then . I had 3 days of passing huge golf balls size clots. I have see over 4 doctors since then no one gave me an actual answer. I was loosing my mind until I started reading tones and tones of experiences knowing I am not alone. The funny thing is all of them suggested I insert another one and me in mind just replying HA HA HA ...OVER MY DEAD BODY.
i had my Mirena removed in May 2015 (Six Months ago). I am having break through bleeding after sex. I have had 2 of the most horrible periods (gushing blood and blood clots). I had my IUD for 4 and half years now my husband want to conceive. It is becoming very very difficult.
I've had the mirena 3 different times and each time it's been fab!!! No bleeding no pain no weight gain!! I love it and wouldn't have anything else!!
Thank you. I have the same problems with bleeding after mirina. I'm going to buy some raspberry leaf tea now and try it. Mother nature knows best
That helps thank you. I never thought about it clearing it self out after having the iud in
I feel your pain. I literally had bled for 1 year exactly. I went to my gynecologist and she insisted I have another mirena put back in. I've had a new one in for four months now, by the third month my bleeding stopped which was a relief. But I'm considering having it taken out, I felt pressured to have had it put in to begin with. I much rather not be on any birth control so my body could get back to normal. Basically I just want control of my body again :/
I had my iud remove on December 23 2015 i had it for like a year and on the next day I started bleeding and I had like 13 days bleeding idk if thats normal
I'm in the same boat as you!! Didn't have any periods in 5 years, I just got my Mirena taken out in August and I started bleeding the beginning of December just lightly and it hasn't stopped :( and when it does and I have intercourse with my husband, it starts again wth????
