Have Mirena, Having Pregnancy Symptoms Tender Breasts, Bloating, Unusual Discharge. Are These Changes With Mirena Normal?
I have a mirena since 2010 and had no true side effects for the first 2 years. Now I regularly have pregnancy like symptoms throughout the month including: swollen, tender breasts, large prominent veins in breasts, bloating , no libido and unusual discharge during one week if month. Are these changes with mirena normal? I am considering having removed and going back to OC.

Hi there. Thanks for this question. Yes, absolutely do have that Mirena removed now and give yourself a much need break. I would not be in any rush either to start the OC. If you can, find another way. Good luck.
