Non-stop Bleeding
Posted over a year ago
I had the Mirena IUD fitted 02 Oct and haven't stopped bleeding and spotting since then. I have heard that it may take up to 3 months to settle. Has anyone had a similar experience and did the bleeding ultimately stop?
Kristielee1 - I have had the Mirena since Feb and have not stopped spotting every week since. I keep thinking it will straighten out. I called my doc today and they are prescribing an antibiotic. I am skeptical and thinking about just taking it out.
Lily7 - I have had the Mirena in now for 4 months. I have had bleeding and spotting ever since the first week of insertion. If this doesn't get better in 2 months I will just have it removed. My doctor recommended the Mirena to control my periods and well so far no luck.
Kosmo1 - I had a mirena fitted 9 months ago. Bled for 1 week spotted for more than 2 each month, barely having 5 days of no bleeding. This week it came out by itself, the same day I rang for an appointment to have it removed ! 3 days later still bleeding very bright blood and quite heavy, but not quite as bad as before I had it fitted , as that was the reason i had it. I am 50 years old and wondering if I'll ever stop bleeding.
