Mirena removal

I had a mirena coil removed three weeks ago but they couldn't get another one in. I bled a little bit but now I'm having terrible heavy clotty bleeding. I've just had to leave a meal with friends as I could feel it gushing☹ I'm very tired; how long does this go on for?

I had mine out just before Xmas, the first period after (which was about three weeks later) was horrendous, proper clotty gushing. That lasted a full week I'm afraid but then periods since have been back to normal (though normal for me is heavy anyway, just not quite that bad!).

That first 'withdrawl' bleed after removal is unbelievable. I remember not being able to leave the house.
Once it calmed down though I went back to normal.
