Question
I had my Mirena IUD removed on April 22nd...my questions is it normal for me not to have had a cycle yet?

Answer
Usually a woman will have a period within a month after having a Mirena removed, assuming she was having regular periods before the Mirena was inserted.  Since it hasn't been a month yet, I wouldn't get too concerned.  If you go 6 weeks without a period, I'd probably see your doctor to figure out why your period isn't coming.  Best wishes.
