I'm trying to do some detective work, because my doctor is being pretty dismissive.

For those of you who have experienced a crash after removal, how long did it last?

I'm 6.5 weeks post removal after having it for 4 months, and while I felt amazing in the first 1-2 weeks, everything hit the proverbial fan at that point and I've had varying degrees of fatigue, nausea and vomiting since that I just can't shake.

Doctors solution was to shrug her shoulders and prescribe zofran.

I started my second period since removal yesterday, and while in my 30-odd years of having periods, I've never once vomited. Now I seem to be vomiting every period.

Almost 2 months post removal feels like it's beyond just hormonal. Is this my life now? Or, is it possible Im still in the adjustment period, and it will settle soon?

I need some hope and reassurance that im not dying

*Side note: I'm celebate, so not pregnant.*

I had mine inserted under anaesthesia with polyp removal, D&C, etc, etc on January 22, so I'm almost at 4 months. At first, it was great... until it wasn't. At the 3 month mark, almost to the day, my mental health plummeted and I found myself in a dark, dark place that wouldn't let up despite being medicated for 3 years.

I decided at that point that I needed to get it out, but when it came to the crunch, I couldn't bring myself to. What if this is temporary and part of the adjustment period? Am I overreacting? Will I regret it? What if I get the dreaded "crash" and end up in a worst position. I'm excellent at catastrophic thinking, and the worst at being decisive.

Anyway, tonight, I did a string check and thought it felt longer than it was at my last check. I went to get a better grip on the strings, and the damn thing just slid out. Did not feel a thing. I was suddenly holding it in my hand thinking "wtf just happened??"

So, here we are. Sans-mirena, I guess. What now?

I had my mirena inserted Jan 22 while under anaesthesia for polyp removal. Everything was great. Fast forward to the 3 month mark, and my mental health has taken a nose dive. My whole personality has changed within 1-2 weeks, and the change has been dramatic and noticeable to everyone around me. I get irritated at the slightest thing, general anxiety (pre-existing; medicated) has ramped up to 11, and im hanging onto my job by a thread because I'm so combative and unpleasant.

I guess my question is: is it possible for side effects to take months to make an appearance? Or should I be looking elsewhere for answers? Does anyone have a similar experience? I have an appointment in a week where I am considering having it removed.
