Hi, my name is Gina. I just recently had a baby girl and decided to give the IUD a try after many

Congrats on the baby!

I had a Paragard placed last September. I am still bfing my baby so I haven't had regular periods (only one since then). But, until I did have a period in December I did have a lot of mucous. I didn't really have any cramping, but was just uncomfortable and sometimes I imagined I could feel the IUD. Once I had my period, it seemed that I have had no discomfort or really any discharge.

You might try some ibuprofen if you're able to take it. I've been hearing that it helps somewhat with bleeding, and should help your backache too.

Hi there,


Spotting is common for the Mirena in the first three months.

i had spotting like that on and off for the first few months i had my iud. I had mine removed in december though because the odd duck i am, i didnt like not having my period. i like the monthly assurance that i am not pregnant because i want to finish school, plan my wedding, get a job and all that stuff before i have another baby.
