I ahe seen a few posts on here about Mirena and losing hair. I had Mirena for about 4 months. I got is in July of this year, my hair started to fall out real fast, my head itched like crazy, sometimes is was like a burning on my scalp. Well, when I noticed my first bald spot, it was the size of a quarter. This was about 1.5 months after placement. Four months later, I have about 35% hair loss. I realized after reading all of the posts on here and other sites, this could be what is causing my hair loss. I had it taken out a week ago, and the itching has almost stopped 100% and my head doesn't burn anymore. It feels like there could be some stubble in my patches, but since it's only been a week, I'm not gonna hold my breath :) I will keep an update on this. Can't wait to see how this goes!

If any of you have had this happen, did your hair grow back? How long did it take?

I had a similar problem, however, I had my IUD removed in August, and I am still losing my hair, I hope the IUD removal helps you regrow hair faster. I am seeing a little regrowth from the cortisone treatment, but I am still losing it rapidly. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
