"i had the mirena removed today after 4 years. i have had stomach pains forever and kept going to the doctor saying something was wrong. they did test after test and found nothing. i was convinced that it was the mirena, then my doctor asked me if they put it in when i was on a cycle and i said no so she was determined it was the mirena as well because they are supposed to put it in on a cycle. i loved that i didn&#039;t break out and my periods were light but i couldn&#039;t take the stomach pain anymore."
