No, you should not attempt to remove Mirena yourself. The way it is placed in the uterus makes the arms on the top come out. If you were to pull to try to remove it yourself, you could risk tearing your cervical tissue. If you would like your IUC removed, simply ask your healthcare provider who put it in, and it shouldn't cost more than a normal office visit to have it removed.
When the health care provider removes an IUD, s/he just pulls gently and steadily on the strings until the IUD comes out. The arms on the top fold up to turn the "T" into a more-or-less straight line.
It's been done before, but I wouldn't recommend it. The strings are slipperly, and if you get it only partway out, you will be very uncomfortable. See your health care provider. The process takes less than 3 minutes from start to finish.

You got Mirena in May and am still bleeding heavily and have really bad cramps is this normal?
I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with the Mirena. I too had the Mirena and experienced the same issues as yourself over an 8 month period. It turned out that I had several oversized Fibroids and the Mirena did not help with the stemming of heavy bleeding. I had my Mirena removed and subsequently the Fibroids - best thing I ever did. I know they say it can work instantly or may take a couple of months, but it depends on how long you want to continue with things they way they are. Good luck with which ever dicision you make.
