Hi all!! I am just curious to find out from anyone who has had the Mirena IUD what the removal process is like. I have had mine for 3 years on January 17th. I am planning to have it removed around that time (more likely February when i got for my next yearly). I have tried to look this up online but all i can find is "your doctor will remove it", nothing about if it is painful, do you start your period or bleed, cramps, discomfort...nothing. i have found that it is easier to remove than insert, but i am just curious. my husband and i are planning to start trying for baby number 2. also curious if anyone started trying to get pregnant immediately after removal. i know you can, but i do not have an AF as of now and havent had anything besides some minor spotting, so we decided we want to get the IUD removed and then give my body a couple months to get in the flow of things again then start trying around May. Does this sound about right?
