I did, but it wasn’t in for months or even years, you could have scar tissue grow around it so be careful, mine came right out, no pain at all

I pulled my mirena out myself. I was in so much pain i could not even stand straight. So i grabbed it and pulled. It was almost like an instant relief. Dr that put it in was 2 states away and none else wanted to remove it so :woman_shrugging:t3:. But after having That thing in my body I’ve had hormonal issues and developed PCOS and in endometriosis

I did by accident! It didn’t hurt somehow. But I only had it in for about a month or so. Got another one in after that.

I did but mine had slipped and was already starting to come out and was causing me so much pain, so I pulled it out. Instant relief. Definitely wouldn’t want to do it relief.

Mine came out I was 9months pregnant! No pain at all.

That would be crazy & painful, that’s a negatory!

Mine removed itself… during my very heavy clotty period. My IUD was expelled 3 months after I had it placed. It slid out wrapped up in 1 clot as it’s passed. I was so mad/sad all the things.

Uhm just don’t, it’s too risky. See your a doc

I accidentally pulled the strings and it hurt like f*ck coming out. I wouldn’t recommend it🤷‍♀️ And if yours is placed better than mine it could be a full on disaster. I lost a muscle during childbirth and it wasn’t held in that well to begin with, and it still hurt that much

I wouldn’t do that. You might tear something and end up in ER.
