Mirena

hi ladies, not baby related but, i have recently had a mirena in about 7 weeks ago and have continuisly bled ever since with maybe a day here amd there when its only spotting. Was wanting to know wat others experiences were and how long did you bleed for? As im seriously thinking of getting it removed!...

• I also spotted but only 6 weeks or so, nothing since and I have had it about 5mos. My doc also said bout 6mos to settle down.
• I was the same, settled down after about 3 or 4 months.
• It took me about 3 months to stop spotting all the time and now no more periods at all (6 months on) and only occasional spotting and cramps but i have been having some migraines which i think are related.
• I don't have it, but my dr warned me that it was possible it would be like that and take up to 12 months settle. Hence I went back on the pill
• I was the same as u and spoke to my friends that used them also as I was thinking of removal but they said just persist with it and it settled around 3mths and presto, mine settle at 3months! Can take up to 12mths to settle fully but my friends that haven't had their periods for 5 years say its definately worth it! Stick with it, I'm glad I did!
