first of all I am very happy with mirena I have had it a year and a half now and it has been great. No pain going in about 4 weeks of spotting after but since then I have had regular period (every 30 days exactly) but lighter than before. Its great. However, I keep hearing horror stories about removal and really heavy bleeing. It probably sounds stupid but I have ALWAYS panicked about having heavy periods I have no idea why I get half convinced I a going to bleed to death (stupid yes but I cant help it).
I have had 5 children and luckliy only bled for a short amount of time after each one and only pretty lightly even in the first 48 hours.
I have no intention of having it removed in the near future but the whole thing is starting to terrify me!. I just wondered what experience everyone has had of this?
