My doctor put the Merina IUD 3-4 months ago because I had very heavy periods every 23-24 days, At 1st I was still spotting, but haven't gotten my period since Jan 9th, & it was a lot lighter I have also noticed my breasts are sore all the time. My biggest concern is not bleeding at all. Is this normal?? I have also noticed a changed in my sex drive, I am not as active as I would like.
I was on the birth control pill before to regulate my period, but made by breasts real sore & my breasts became larger (I am large breasted to begin with).
Should I be alarmed? I have also heard about having some of the lining of the cervix taken out to lessen my bleeding & discussed this with my Dr. but she that IUD was the most effective method.
