"remember, this is just my personal experience. everyone is different. i got the mirena inserted on august 1st. i got it removed today (september 12). i have heavily bled every day for the past month. if it weren&#039;t for my husband coming home for two weeks next month, i might have kept it for a bit longer to see if it stopped. other than that, it was fine. no other symptoms and insertion wasn&#039;t bad at all. just a little cramping afterward."
