Hi again dear,
Usually the periods may take three months after the removal of Mirena to go back to normal.
Rarely, it may take longer.
But as I mentioned above the symptoms may also be related to perimenopause based on your age.
In this case the symptoms are physiological and there is nothing to be worried.
