I'll update my situation today also... It appears now that I am in perimenopause. I have estrogen dominance and very low progesterone... so the compounding pharmacist will talk to the gyn about taking out the mirena... and put me on progesterone cream along with some things that will cause the excess estrogen to release from my body. Evidently, bcp's shut down your ovaries and put you in pre menopause... well ding ding ding! Here I am at 38 and these things have all started to occur this past year. Whether or not they are a result of the Mirena, "iffy"... but that seems to be one of the recommended treatments to have it removed.
I'm not going to give a story about how bad it has been. It's not been horrible... just that the past few months especially, things have gone a little awry... and I do see a need to get it fixed now rather than later down the road when it could get out of hand....
