Mirena people!

ah that sucks

I am seriously ready to have mine pulled and see if it helps my weight. I was doing great and then got it and bam weight loss completly stopped.

I spotted for ages (like 6 weeks?), then still had periods occasionally the first year. I've had it for 3 years now, and have maaaaybe had 1 period in the past year? It was light. I don't have random spotting anymore, either.

While I wasn't a lucky one who never got a period, it's been a billion times better than what I had pre-Mirena. I bled like a waterfall & had extremely painful periods.

hmmm... this is interesting. I've gained back all the weight I lost PP, and I wonder if Mirena has something to do with it? Or maybe I'm using that as an excuse/way to justify it...

I'm not one of the lucky ones to not get a period... I get one every month.

I spot and cramp on and off all the time, but I can't say that I've had a full period. I'm not nearly as impressed with this thing as I was last time.

I haven't gotten a period yet but I'm only 7 months post partum and breast feeding. However when I was on the pill I stopped getting a period so I'm guessing everyone responds differently. Hoping I'm the same with mirena but it's too soon to tell! I did spot for about 6 weeks after I got it.

I still get periods. Sooooo much lighter and less painful than my pre-pregnancy/pre-mirena periods though.

pre-baby: no period.

post-baby: eh, hit/miss. it's decent spotting for a few days and then gone.

I thought I wasn't supposed to get a period with this thing!?!

I spotted from November until about two weeks ago, when it FINALLY stopped. 

And then yesterday, BAM, period. 

WTF?!

dude! I spotted from about a week after I got it inserted until.... wait for it.... still spotting! I had it put in 10/14

I think I have had two light periods in the mix, but I have serioulsy spotted all but like 3 days since 10/20ish (I didn't spot the first week and so thought I was in the clear)

Yup, mine was awful. They had me wait six months, still awful. I waited forever after that them just had it taken out. At the end it was either two weeks on two weeks off or even three weeks on and one week off. Sometimes I can't remember, I think my brain has blocked it out because it was horrible.
