Bleeding and cramps

[EmmaJane]

Has anyone had bad effects after having the Mirena coil Removed? I am in pain and bleeding very heavy. Was removed Monday, this started yesterday

Thanks
Emma

Hi EmmaJane. I have had three coils in the past but usually one was removed then another fitted at the same time. When I had a coil removed I did experience heavy bleeding. Could this be your period? If this doen't settle down or seem excessive with clots I would contact your GP.

im sure i read one like this the other day, she went to the dr and found out she had an infection but she did have a high temperature and felt awful. I think it may due to the removal and the change in your hormones possibly?

Sunndyd that would make sense as the coil releases progesterone. Maybe the absence of that would cause excessive bleeding? I really feel this needs to be checked out as it does not seem quite right.
