Mirena Coil removal - mood crash

[michelle2706]

Hi,

Has anyone had problems once their coil has been removed?

I got mine out 8 days ago after it being in for 6mths. Was constantly tired, spotty, headachey, nervous, depressed anxious, no sex drive...etc.

2 days after removal i was spotting. 4 days after I got a feeling like i was going to faint and be sick and this continued for 2hrs. Husband took me to a&e as i hyperventilated (didn't know this at the time) and brought on pins and needles in my arms and legs.

I have been so down then my period started properly on the saturday, full swing on sunday, but my mood is like a roundabout stops and starts very quickly and my tummy feels weird. Am used to having pms and cramps with my period, but this feels weird and it's horrible.

When will i feel normal, how do I know when I ovulate and will that make me feel better?

Any thoughts would be great!

Michelle

Hey Ladies!

It has been super helpful to read all thise stories and crazy how this nasty little thing can affect us. To share my story: I had the kyleena for about 1.5 years and removed it about a month ago.. 10 days after I started getting the craziest panic and anxiety attacks that I didn't even know can exist. Complete panic and terror lasted for 3 hours. To barely calm down my boyfriend had to be next to me the whole time while I was on the phone with my mom. It was compeltely insane. This continued throughout the night in waves and the whole next week. I would swing between anxiety, panic and depression. I have had anxiety before but 1000 times lighter than that! It would just be health anxiety. Then I had every aymptom in the book - headaches that felt like strokes, chest pain and timgling in my whole left arm. I went to the GP and they did an ECG and measured blood pressure which all seemed normal but he did say that the crazy is getting out of control so he prescriped diazepam and gave me a referral for a psychiatrist. He denied that this would be from the spiral even though I mentioned it. I decided to try to take control myself and didn't take the diazepam. Instead, I started researching online on foods to balance hormones and started fasting next to that (be careful though as I found out that fasting can come with its own risk for women). Now is the third week and I definitely feel much much much better but still have weird symptoms like skin sensitivity and bits of anxiety. I am trying to ride it out with food and supplements (for me ashwagandha and prebiotics really help). Hope this is really over soon but the lesson I would take from it is to pay more attention to healthy living - phyaically and emotionally. What I am really pissed about is that doctors pump in each woman with hormones as if each woman is the same. Probably some women like me have hormonal imbalances they didn't know about and that's why they would get such insane side effects. After this is over, I have decided to check my hormone levels and they put an effort to balance them naturally. Hope this is really over soon without any lasting side effects. Needless to say I am very scared and also very greatful to have forums like that and read the stories of other women. Thank you all for aharing, I find this so very helpful! Wishing best of luck with this journey to all of you 🙏❤️ Pay attention to your body and health always and let's try to spread awareness of this so that more women know about the risks for better informed decisions. Not saying that sometimes IUDs can't help, I think they certainly can with some conditions. All I am saying that we should know about our bodies and hormones, apparently they do manage a lot of our mental and physical processes ... :)

So I had a Merina fitted and after 7 weeks had it removed.... I reacted so badly to the synthetic hormone, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, blurred vision, nausea. So once removed it was a relief and the symptoms subsided although they were still there but much less severe. Then this past weekend I felt really good, almost like my old me, and finally no anxiety! Then bang!!!! Yesterday the anxiety has come back and it’s awful! Has anyone been through this same experience? I didn’t suffer with anxiety before all this, I don’t feel like myself anymore and struggling! I have recently taken a homeopathic remedy to try and balance my hormones and I’m wondering if that has triggered this somehow?! Any reassurance would be grateful 🙏
