I guess this is kind of health related. I've had Mirena for over 2 years. It's been great. I had some spotting and light periods for the first few months after I got it, but after the first 4 months or so, I've had zilch. No period, no spotting, nada. It's been amazing.
Until today. I'm having some weird light spotting. It's no big deal in the grand scheme of things, and I know spotting is a normal side effect, but it's odd that this is happening out of the blue after 2 years with nothing. Did this happen to anyone else? I hope this isn't a sign that something weird is going on.
I have had mine for 3 years now and haven't had any spotting since about 3 months, but I have had the occasional month with cramping or other period signs. These have gotten more obvious in the past 6 months, and (without any medical degree) I am attributing it to perhaps a little wearing off of the drug release (because how can it be 100% consistent for 5 years?).
My doctor told me my occasional symptoms were normal, FWIW.
I've had mine for 3 years and have had light spotting a handful of times. Probably every 6 months or so. From what my doctor said, it's totally normal.
I have had mine for 3.5 years and virtually no period at all for a long time, but occasionally I will spot also. I usually don't get pms symptoms, but sometimes out of the blue, I will have some ovulation pain and a little cramping.
