  |
|
I had my baby 9 months ago, it was a regular vaginal delivery and she is exclusively breastfed.
After delivery I continued to bleed and/or spot for eight weeks and then I had a Merina IUD put in.
With the IUD in place I spotted for an additional 12 weeks, finally everything stopped. I started having complications with the IUD such as mood swings, complete loss of sex drive, uterine cramping and a heavy thick clear odorless discharge. Enough was enough, after six months I had the Merina removed.
I have had the IUD out for 6 weeks now and I am still experiencing a dark brown discharge just as I had after having the baby but I am yet to have a period.
I have no STD and my husband and I have not had unprotected since the IUD has been out.
Could this be a "side affect" of breastfeeding??
Has anyone else experienced something like this??
Thanks |
