i dont know for sure but it could well be that many people are extra fertile after mirena. i know that when people come off the Pill they are extra fertile, but like everything, it will depend on the individual - look at us all, we all have had some different side effects and have some in common. For some of us the side effects go pretty much shortly after removal and others get stuck with side effects for ages! The only thing i guess Leb, is to go to non hormonal contraception as soon as mirena is out - not that i wanted anything or anyone near me for a while after that fiddling down there getting it out hehe...:) How are you feeling anyway now Leb? Hope you are ok:)xx
