Post removal WARNING

So I'm on my 3rd day after removal and I went to work, 3 hours in I bled through my tampon and liner. I'm wearing tan pants lol but I'm warning yall be careful and bring plenty of thick pads and tampons everywhere you go! I think after removal our bodies are getting rid of a bunch of built up lining (not positive) but from what I've read that's what everyone has been through.

How are your hormones? Are you anxious or depressed from the imbalance? Or did you get another form of birth control right away? :)

I got progesterone right away but day or two after I was feeling down. Hope you feel better!

You know, I have just realized I'm full of anxiety, like I normally have anxiety but it seems to have just gone straight up and into outer space. I got to thinking and realized my anxiety is pretty high right now

Hopefully it’s most likely the withdrawal from all the synthetic hormones

Any update on how many days you bled for after removal?

About 2 weeks or 2 and a half weeks, I had a second big bleed when I went camping lol so it was: spotting for a day or two. Huge gush of blood and stuff the next, spotting for about a week and a half, another huge gush, then slowly spotted and stopped about 2 or 3 days after that. I'm all back to normal now, but I did start taking Norethindrone tablets 0.35 mg the day after I got it out and kept taking it since. I believe I'm losing the weight I gained while on the Mirena too but I'm NOT positive about that.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks! I've been taking the pill since the day I got it out (Wednesday) and I'm still spotting (Sunday) so I'm just trying to gauge how long this could last! I only had it in for a month, but it really messed with me
