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.
