Hello all,

Im a new mom to an 8 week old baby boy, well i got my IUD put in place 12/22 the day before he turned 6 weeks,anyways i bled that day as to be expected but by the weekend i stoped bleeding then i started bleeding again very light on the 26th and then it just got heaver and heaver so by the 28th i assumed it was my peroid it looked like my regular period and everything was all fine and dandy and then it just got lighter and lighter until i started using just panty liners but now today is 1/10 and im STILL bleeding lightly, unless its brown discharge?? im not sure?? well anyways its been 13 days since i started my period?? and about 7 days of just light bleeding or brown discharge or whatever it is?? anyways my question is it it normal for this to happen?? and when can i expect to stop bleeding for a while?? when should things start getting more "normal" ??

any advice is greatly apprecated?? TIA

Hi villagegirl013,

It is very common to have irregular periods for the first six months of Mirena. The first six months I had it, it wasn't uncommon for me to bleed for three weeks at a time, and I had the compounding factor of still being affected from the depo shot. Over the first six months the bleeding slowly decreased in length of time, and also in amount.
