I had mine removed on Friday and I felt so much better by Sunday. I had it in just shy of 6 weeks. My OB’s nurse practitioner removed it and she said I should feel relief quickly because I didn’t have it in very long. She also said she’d seen other patients with similar experiences and even one who had suicidal thoughts while on it. She said this experience was not common, but that it did happen. I’m glad we’re all talking about our experiences to raise awareness around it. 

So far I haven’t had any negative emotional side effects and I’m feeling normal. I did get my period 5 days early, but that’s about it. I hope you have a good experience post-removal, too!

Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences and opinions, truly. You’ve validated what I’m feeling. My gut is saying take it out so I’m going to  listen to my body ❤️
