Why I Decided to Get My Mirena IUD Removed

When my daughter was born, we knew she completed our family. We had a little boy and a little girl. I went for my 6 week postpartum appointment and decided to get Mirena IUD. I use the word “decided” very loosely here. I didn’t want something permanent even though I knew we were done. I didn’t do any research, I just thought this option sounded great when my doctor explained it.  It was a little rough to put in, I had horrible cramps and basically couldn’t get out of bed that day. It was definitely enough pain for me to think that I never wanted to do that again. But after a few days I felt OK.
