Could someone please tell me what the mirena crash is?

Mirena Crash is the name people have given to a set of side effects that occur once the IUD is removed. Some people report depression, bloating, the general feeling of the world crashing down on you.

Don't panic - from everything I've read, it's short term - under a week in some cases. It's just your body trying to regulate your hormones on its own again.

The Mirena causes a big change in your body so you have to expect to have a little recovery time after you stop - it's like giving up smoking. It may not be good for you, but the effects of quitting drive some people crazy.

Wait it out - if it lasts more than a week, talk to your doctor.
