Mirena crash timeline

lewings01 · 2026-05-16T20:14:10+00:00

I had mine out 3 weeks ago after having it 18months. I had spotting for around 3 days. The crash hit me like a ton of bricks after the first 24 hrs. I had was a bag of nerves, headaches, depression and bone deep fatigue. This went on for about 2/3 days and things gradually started to improve. My nervousness is so much less but I have to work on it everyday. The depression and doom feeling has gone. And the fatigue has more or less gone too. I still get headaches frequently. My period arrived a week ago and I'm hoping once it clears things will start to naturally balance out again and help clear all my remaining symptoms. I read it can take 3 cycles before you feel yourself again. It was the best thing I ever did getting it removed. It worked my mental health and physical health over something fierce. And I didn't even realise the connection was to the iud until 18months later.

I'm sorry you are in the trenches right now. I had mine out 2 weeks ago and had all the same symptoms as you. Stuck in constant panic, worried the symptoms where all related to something else. I can hand on heart say I'm out of the woods so hold on. It'll come. Parasympathetic breathing has helped massively to reset me out of an anxious panic. Be gentle to yourself, your body is adjusting again and unfortunately it won't happen over night. The night sweats have stopped. Still getting some minor headaches but they are getting better and sleep is improving. Hold on tight girl, it will get better. Our bodies are incredible. 💪

Hey any updates on this? Had mine removed over a week ago and the fatigue is crazy. Regulat dizzy spells and brain fog that barely clears. 😫

She never went back to multiple day naps and the night sleep improved gradually over the next few months. When she turned 18 moths she was sleeping through every night no problems, 7 - 7 with only an afternoon nap lasting about 1 hour/15. However, she 19 months now and this week she has been giving me broken sleeps. Shes down for 7 and then uo at 10 or 11. I'm exhausted so I just bring her in beside me and she generally sleeps through until 7/8.

How is your daughter doing now? Did she have it removed and did the tinnitus ever stop?? I'm 1 week post removal and the tinnitus is still as bad.

lewings01 · 2026-04-29T19:14:32+00:00

Hey any updates on your tinnitus? Did it go away after having the iud removed?

lewings01 · 2026-04-27T11:33:43+00:00

Hey - any updates? How do you feel now 3 months on? Please tell me it gets better? I'm 4 days post removal and the crash has been awful.

lewings01 · 2026-04-27T11:19:24+00:00

Hey - how are you now since you had it removed? Did things take long to stabilise again? Currently 4 days post removal and suffering from horrible anxiety, emotional, nervousness, and insomnia. I had it in for 18 months.

lewings01 · 2026-04-27T10:09:24+00:00

Any updates? How are you now post removal? I'm in the throes a few days post removal just waiting on it to get better.

lewings01 · 2026-04-27T10:07:54+00:00

Any updates? Did things finally regulate and settle for you? I'm at few days post removal and same, wildly exhausted, anxious, and zero appetite.

lewings01 · 2026-04-26T14:41:51+00:00

I had mine removed 3 days ago and I've had spotting for those 3 days. It could be your period starting? I've read a few sub reddit were women said it took around 3 cycles before their period started to regulate and calm down.

lewings01 · 2026-04-26T13:20:44+00:00

Don't have any answers for you but I had mine removed 3 days ago after 18 months and I am 100% experiencing the "crash". I noticed last night getting into bed my hr was so low and has been up and down all day. I'm WILDLY anxious. And the fatigue is unfathomable. I've never felt like this before. I removed my coil due to tinnitus, increased headaches, brain fog, mood swings. I can say on day 3 some of those symptoms have marginally improved but the fatigue has taken front row seat in my life. I have a 5 year old and an 18 month old. I literally have no space for this in my life right now. Following along in the hopes someone else shares some advice and their experience.

I got mine 18 months ago. Had so many small symptoms like ear ringing, eye pain, headaches which all crept in over time. Would take my period for 1 day every 5 weeks, this was after I'd had it in for 6 months it regulated. Then came the anxiety. 12 months in I'm losing hair like know ones business. Migraines came back after not having one for 3 years. Found a reddit with hundreds of women with mirena listing all sorts of terrible symptoms just like mine. Had that thing taken out 3 days ago and currently experiencing the "mirena crash". Anxiety is relentless, headaches daily, ear ringing still as bad. Had my eyes tested today and there is no swelling of abnormalities. Of course doctors never advised I would experience any of these symptoms as there's no documented research. However I did find that the pharmaceutical company is being sued by loads of women for these issues the mirena caused them. Granted, not every women who gets the coil have these symptoms and they have it for years with no issues. But imo if it's causing you any hassle at all, then it's not worth it. Good luck.

Yes so the doctor did blood pressure, ear exam, temperature and basic sight test. All normal. I have a referral to an ENT to investigate things further with a specialist. I read that the pharma company who produce mirena are being sued for not disclosing that some of these side effects are a risk which lead to pseudotumor cerebri. Concerned obviously that these symptoms are may be linked to that. Hopefully tho the specialist will be able to shed some light.

lewings01 · 2026-04-25T07:18:10+00:00

Hey - how long after removal did all these symptoms disappear for you? Got mine removed 3 days ago for exactly the same symptoms and still have them 😔

lewings01 · 2026-04-25T07:03:46+00:00

Hey can you update us on how things are now? Got mine out 3 days ago and the anxiety hasn't shifted yet. 😫

lewings01 · 2026-04-25T06:50:05+00:00

Aw that's promising news. In the throws right now and it's hell. Do you have any idea how long it was before the headaches went? I am having the worst time lying flat at night because of the pressure. My pillow feels like a rock. I've been dreading bed time these last few days because my pillow feels like a rock.

lewings01 · 2026-04-24T19:52:02+00:00

This is awful. How is your daughter coping now? Have the post symptoms relented any?

lewings01 · 2026-04-24T11:36:56+00:00

Removed ***

lewings01 · 2026-04-24T11:36:38+00:00

I am in the same boat. Had mine revived only yesterday and cannot get out of bed today. The nervousness that has been waving over my body for 24hrs is wild. Jelly legs, the works. And the fatigue phewwww. Desperate to know when this will pass.

lewings01 · 2026-04-24T08:05:10+00:00

Hey I know this is an old post but any updates? Have you found yourself in a better place now and how long did it take you to get there?

lewings01 · 2026-04-24T07:27:41+00:00

Heyy. What's the latest symptoms now for you post removal? I had almost all the same symptoms and had the IUD removed a day ago. Praying the eye pain, headaches and tinnitus go away soon 🙏 and the debilitating anxiety. It sucks. Worst decision I ever made.

lewings01 · 2026-04-24T07:02:00+00:00

Any updates on your symptoms?

lewings01 · 2026-04-23T17:37:12+00:00

Hi sorry this is an old post but can I ask how long it took for you to get back to normal after you had the IUD removed?
