getting iud removed

ana
I have had mirena for a little over a year and a half and am getting it removed next week because it is causing vaginal infections and cysts every month. for those who have had it removed, and had painful periods before bc, did they return as painful? how long did it take? on a side note I think I ovulate in a couple of days (either tomorrow or wednesday) if I do, what are the odds that I will get pregnant? had sex yesterday and today. sorry if tmi.

In many cases the cysts will lessen the longer the Mirena is out.

nuvaring might be a good option for you. I was on that for years

My Mirena was great for 3 years, then I started getting awful health probs. Removal was not nearly as painful as insertion.My cycle was jacked for at least 4 months, (cramps, spotting, irregularities). .. and the acne was TERRIBLE!I would go on oral BC (trinessa or ortho ) asap to alleviate some of the "adjustment time"

I can't go on any other bc. I get a rare type of migraines and every neurologist and gynie I've gone to said that with those types of migraines, I am 70% more likely to get a stroke from the estrogen. mini pill doesn't work (got pregnant at 19 on it) and depo made me sick.

also, you will be fertile almost immediately upon removal

The other negative is that the cysts won't stop. I guess it's one of the side effects that will either take a while to go away or I will just have to live with. :(

I had mine removed a year ago for the same reason. Non stop cysts and constant trips to the OB for ultrasounds. After having mine taken out I have gone back to normal periods and unfortunately have gone back to the same cramps periods I remember from high school.
