Today is the day.  Mirena comes out at 11:00 am.  I feel like it’s a big deal, when really it won’t take but 2 minutes for the gyn to reach up inside, grab the strings of the IUD with the forceps and gently pull it out.  You’d think, however, that I was about to have some big long drawn out, life altering procedure!  My only hope for today is that there isn’t much pain involved.  I have taken the rest of the afternoon off from work, just in case!

I am really hoping that this will begin to provide relief from these hormone issues.  I know it won’t be a cure, but the Mirena has actually CAUSED some of my suffering and at least those symptoms can begin disappearing.  I’m about to record my weight and measurements so that I can chronicle the changes post-removal.
