    Didn't want to take over the implanon thread so I thought I'd start my own!

    Was just wondering has anyone had their mirena removed and how do you go about getting it removed?
    Not overly worried about how long it'll take my cycle to get back "normal" just want to know about getting it out!

    Thanks :)

    I had mine removed about five years ago as i was having a few problems with it.

    I just went to my local gp who removed it. Sorry if TMI but they just pull it out and then you just get this almighty period pain afterwards but nothing that a couple of painkillers wont fix.

    My cycle came back to normal very quick but within 2 months i was pregnant again so i would just be careful if you do get it removed.

    Hope this helps

    Sorry to raise an old thread but my coil is due to come out this month. I originally had it put in while in hospital. Will I get a call back to have it removed or do I need to make my own arrangements? I have 0 pain threshold so not looking forward to this
