How long does it take for your hormones to settle after mirena?

[TheBolter]

I used the mirena for six years but had it removed about six months ago.

Recently I've noticed that I've become really spotty and i'm finding it hard to lose weight - even though I'm exercising lots, being careful what I eat, and not eating after 6pm.

Basically I look and feel as if I'm about to get my period ALL THE TIME. Could this be my hormones being unsettled after the mirena or might it be something else?

I look and feel like crap!

I've still got my mirena in, but had symptoms like yours after I had it. Are you using any other hormonal contraception? You didn't mention if you are having 'normal' periods (whatever normal is lol). Do you think it could be stress?

If you didn't have symptoms with it in, maybe you could talk to your GP/nurse/FP centre about having a pill for a few weeks just to try to kick your hormones back into a routine?
