Those of you with Mirena...
| Sun, 05-27-2007 - 9:30am |
I have had Mirena for 8 1/2 weeks. I didn't spot at all for the first 2 1/2 weeks, then started what I considered to be my period, even though it was early. Then I continued to spot almost daily since then, but I never again had what I would consider a period. It seems that the spotting has mostly stopped in the last few days, and I'm hoping it's gone for awhile. Now I'm wondering, should I expect to have a period or not? I understand that the spotting is normal and that periods often lessen or disappear after the first 3-6 months, but I'm just not sure what is going on.
I know this varies a lot between women, but if those of you who have Mirena would share your experiences, I would know what to expect.
Thanks!
Leah


Got it Feb 23rd...started period March1st..bled alll the way through March EVERYDAY until April 1st.. then it stopped! Then I had a light period about 25 days later and was normal again till May with some off and on spotting.. then this last time, I started my period a week early and its still here.. this is 2 weeks.. so WHO KNOWS lol... it IS tapering off now and very light so HOPEFULLY this is it! I love my Mirena stil, but Im giving it till the 6 month mark to work itself out.. things have been really unpredictable, but I expected that.. so who knows lol..
I had mine inserted Feb 2 and had off an on spotting for 6 weeks. Once that stopped I JUST had my first period.
Irregular bleeding is completely normal for the first 3-6 months so it's hard to know when/if you'll get a period.
Hi Leah,
I had some spotting the first few months following insertion (but it wasn't bad), as well as my period.
I've had the Mirena for about a year and a half now and I'm still getting my period. But it's a very short and light period - I need to use a pantyliner for about three days.
