A member asked:

I'm getting my mirena (levonorgestrel) removed less then 2 weeks, how do they remove it and can they mess up and hurt me i'm scared 4. years on mirena (levonorgestrel)?..

Don't worry !: Removing an iud is usually very straight forward and much easier then inserting it. It might cramp for a few minutes.
