So I read about mirena and my ob said that I should def get it. I...

Because you recently had it inserted I would wait and see. I did not really notice significant side effects until at least 6 months after I got it. Each woman is different and although I have had significant negative side effects I know a few women who love it. Just make sure to be observant of physical and emotional changes within yourself and keep track of them.

Its normal to have light bleeding after insertion. Some can have it 3-6 months. I had it for a little over a month. Had one or two light periods after, and since then have not had a period. Just give it time. This happened to almost everyone I know who got mirena. If u only have the light, normal side affects, they should all subside by the 6 month mark. Good luck!

HEY I JUST GOT MINES PUT IN LAST MONTH N IM STILL BLEEDING IM THINKING ABOUT GETTING OFF IT

Are you breastfeeding?? If you haven't had an ultrasound to check for placement do this. I was feeling just like you. IT IS NOT NORMAL!!!! Mine perforated the uterine wall but luckily my obgyn could remove it without it doing too much damage. I thought my bleeding was normal too as I was going by what was written in the brochure. What they don't mention is that that is not directed to women having it installed postpardum who are breastfeeding!!!
