Emotional state of mind after Mirena removal

[feedmenow]

I know that a few of you out there have recently had your Mirena coild removed. Did you get emotional after? I had mine taken out last Friday and have been feeling really weepy since. Have cried at Eastenders, Friends and The Ghost Whisperer as well as numerous songs on the radio and a few emails from friends! I'm not normally like this.....is there any possibility that the fact that I am no longer getting the release of small amounts of hormones from the Mirena could be making me so emotional?

A bit of a bump for my own problem here!

The hormones are not supposed to act much outwith your uterus but I haven't had any experience. Why did you have it removed? Are you planning another baby?

They tell you all this rubbish about how the hormones aren't supposed to effect you at all, but you'll see threads here w/hundreds of posters who experienced some pretty nasty side effects from it.

I'm dead glad I never got talked into one. Progesten and I do not get along.

i had mine out late april. doc said don't do it BEFORE wedding in case af turns up. it didn't, and was okay straight off.

but.. with mirena, life was good. no af, skin good, perhaps a bit more weight but easily sorted with more gym

since mirena out - skin gone v sensitive and flares up, nothing too yucky yet but i'm aware of it. plus i'm v v hormonal every month and getting more so as each month goes by.

had mirena out to conceive (obvious statement) but am sorely tempted to have one put back in as my months were just uneventful when i had it. at the mo i have one good week and 3 crappy ones. and i reckon the resumption of teenage spots is just a few months away.

any similar thoughts?

hi to all :-)

I've just had mine out (last month) and I'm all overr the place - I was crying my eyes out in my local leisure centre carpark yesterday and nearly fainted half way thro a yoga class (v embarressing) - I'm now wondering whether I'm actually pregnant as I'm also famished. I didn't want it to happen this fast as presumably my womb lining needs to build up and so on.

But it is a relief to have it out, I was getting all the PMS symptoms both at pre period and ovulation and was getting heartily sick of it.

Yes, Mears, we are TTC. My poor dp doesn't know what to do with himself as I am all weepy one moment and then frisky as hell the next
MrsWaggsnapps - were you told to wait by GP? Mine literally said that now its out its out and that anything could happen! No advice to wait or anything.......

we've got a family planning nurse and she did say that I could fall pregnant the day it came out but that the hormone thins the lining of the uterus and that it might be a good idea to get one period out the way before trying, I would guess that a thicker lining would give a better implantation but as I have learnt the hard way, I am rubbish at understanding the whole cycle thing so don't take my word for it

you've probably got PMS as your period is about to come - either that or you're pregnant

feedmenow - from the posts on here it may well be that your hormones are disrupted. Personally I would wait for a period before starting TTC because then you will know where you are. I preferred to do that after I had had a miscarriage so I knew my cycle. But I prefer to be organised

it's going to be the mother of all periods if it is, I'm getting muscle pulls AND cramps but no sign of a bleed (since having the mirena out I've had a very slight almost continuous bleed - not enough to wear more than a liner but noticable, that has now stopped totally)
