Hi guys,


Just thought I would post an update, seeing as it has been just over three weeks since I had my Mirena IUCD removed.


Everything seems to be improving!

Hi xploziv1,

I just had my Merina removed last friday (9-8). On sunday I started spotting. I am now bleeding verry hevy. When I go to the bathroom I have noticed that blood is just dripping (sorry if that is too much info). You replied to my post and said it is normal to spot. Well it is more than just spotting now. My periods use to be verry light before I had the Marina taken out. Is it normal to bleed like this after having it taken out? I am just worried that I am bleeding too much and should go back to my Dr. and get checked out. My normal period is not due for another week or two (I think). I never reailly keept track of it when I was on the IUD, it was so light and half the time I didnt eaven need a pad or anything. I also have another question. Is it ok to start trying to concive right away or would it be better to wait a month or two till my periods are back to normal?
TIA, Robin

Hi angeleyes83672,


I probably got off lightly with the initial bleeding after my IUD was removed because I'd already been bleeding a little for a few days and a couple after the removal.
