Mirena and period
| Tue, 05-22-2007 - 8:13pm |
ACK so I've had my IUD since Feb and I haven't had a period since I stopped spotting about 6 weeks after insertion.
Of course I have a huge weekend planned and a wedding to go to this weekend. Our first Adult weekend away since DS was born.
Was your first period with Mirena like normal or was it lighter or shorter right away? I'm so hoping to not have a period this weekend, by Sat.
I have to say this is the first time I've had a down side to the IUD. With the pill I could skip my period but now I'm stuck with it if it comes.

I think that is the most common result. The heavy bleeding thing is unusual. I would say you are probably home free for the weekend. From what I have read and experienced, if you get anything, it will be minimal!
Hmm interesting, everyone has had really different experiences.
I had it put in at my 6 week post partum check up. Since the initial spotting stopped I haven't had any bleeding at all.
My periods weren't ever heavy or painful before. Since I went to the bathroom last night and noticed something I haven't had anymore so I'm hopeful that it will just be a little light spotting.
Thanks for all the info. Once again everyone here is wonderful.
