Anyone have a Mirena? (TMI)

[Deleted]

Did you spot/bleed a lot after getting it inserted? When did it stop for you?


I've had it for about a month now and I'm still bleeding. It's as bad as it was after I just had the baby. My doctor says this is normal but can't predict when it will stop. It's starting to get annoying. I was hoping I'd be one of those people who stop getting periods on them, lol.

I did. I can't remember how long though - on and off for maybe two months. And I always got my period (2.5 years). It was still worth not having to take bc pills.

That's how it was for me - full on bleeding. For 3 months. Then it ejected itself into my cervix, I had it removed, and that was that! I hope it stops soon for you.

I didn't have insertion bleeding but after about 7 months I started having 2 week long periods with bleeding and severe cramping.

I had it removed not too long after that started.

This is my second Mirena. I had my first for five years. The first one I spotted for a little while, but not long. I don't this I spotted at all with this one. I have not had periods at all with either Mirena.

I did for about 2 months. My ob said 3 is normal. Now I randomly spot enough for a panty liner not enough for a tampon.

I spotted for a long time. I now have period -strength bleeding for three weeks every month. I am planning in getting it out in February.

I spotted for, like, 2 straight months. But that was 2 years ago, and it's been great since. Only a few light periods since then.
