Period with a new Mirena question...
| Thu, 08-19-2004 - 3:37pm |
I had my Mirena IUD put in about two and a half weeks ago. For the first four days I have very light spotting but since then I have had, for two solid weeks, a nasty old AF. Like a tampon every 4 hours AF (sorry, if TMI).
Did this happen to anyone else? I'm getting sick of it, to say the least. Especially as I hadn't had an AF for 4 years (two babies and 2 years of nursing) and, back in the last millenium when I last did, they only lasted 4 days.

I've had my mirena for a year now....when it was first put in I had slight spotting for a day or so....The first few months I had heavier periods that lasted 16+ days and coming 2 weeks apart....That lasted about 3-4 months (I wasn't happy)...After that they settled down to just once a month-they were still heavier than I expected but got lighter and lighter after that...Now when I have a visit from "Aunt Flo",it's basicly spotting....For a while it was just for 2-3 days but last month I didn't have a period for 9 weeks and when she came it lasted 16 days....My dr says the longer it's "in" the slighter your periods will get....you might have one and then you might not....just depends-each woman's different....good luck!
