After two years I started my period.... Is it normal? Did u find out by any chance?
I have had my IUD Mirena for 3 years I have recomended it to many women my period stopped as soon as it was inserted its been a Blessing but now 3 years later im getting really bad cramps to the point I dont want to move Im getting it removed on the 24 its time to say goodbye to my IUD :)
You need to see a different doc and get a second opinion. You should not be having so many problems and this could be a sign of problems. I would get another opinion just to be safe
I've had mirena for about 2.5 years or so and it stopped the bleeding but I still get horrible cramps and nauseous and every other period symptom. Plus weight gain and depression etc....and now I have some light bleeding after not bleeding for like 2 years. This thing is more trouble than its worth.
Yes this is happening to me too, thats what i googled to find out if it was normal or not.. 3 years exactly for me too.
Yes actually I'm going threw it right now did u ever figure out what it was
I was always haven pregnancy systoms on the iud. I had very single pregnancy system there was. I bloated all the time, back pain ,camps every night you name it I was dealing with it. I got my mirena out and I am slowly getting better. I had the hormone iud for 3years inserted after I had my first child.
This is all kind of comforting to hear, thanks for sharing experiences. I have had my Mirena for 2 years, 1 month and after a blissful no-period innings suddenly I have my period (and have also been a bit light-headed the last few days which may or may not be related but it's not a common occurence for me). Will be interesting to see how this pans out... I sure hope no cramps nor pain will come about but that being said I have always had pain-free periods. I suspect 2 years is the ""magic time frame" for me as in the past I have had 2 Implanons and each stopped the period-free zone around 2 years. I actually got the second removed early as I started getting my period every second week which was pleasant at all. Anyway I hope we all have things improve for us. As a woman, navigating contraception options is hard :/
hahahaha I mean which WASN'T* pleasant at all!! But I'm sure you got the drift ;)
I am having the same problem! 5 yrs, minimal periods (loved that part! ) but suddenly bleeding like no tomorrow! Its been 3 days already. I do not have a family physician yet, but looking around for possible answers. If you find out, let me know!
Well ladies I will be honest. I had a very normal period for about 15 months after insertion... Then I got concerned about being pregnant when I stopped bleeding. My doctor informed me it was normal but did a check lip at that point... Come to find out that the "pregnancy" symptoms I was having was cervical cancer. I had never even had an abnormal Pap before that... And now after having cancer removed I still have the mirena. It has been another 12 months with no period and all the sudden started again and have been bleeding for 4 days. I am calling my doc Monday. I would suggest you do the same to be safe. Good luck to you.
I've had mine in for 2.5 years and just yesterday I started to spot and have slight cramps after not having a period for the entire time. Maybe I need to call the dr.
That's unfortunate your body didn't take well to Mirena but I do think it's different from person-to-person, and I have had nothing but a very positive experience. It seems you have a very sensitive system in terms of IUDs and hormones, so the right fit would be very important. I hope you found what you're looking for and what your body needs!
I went to the doc thinking I had appendicitis as it was my right ovary. It turned out to be an ovarian cyst (normal if you aren't having periods, a cyst can develop and doesn't clean itself out as in a usual cycle - or at least that's my understanding). Not sure if this could explain it. I just want to know why I'm suddenly getting my period after so long, ha.
I'm having same problem bleeding lightly for few days every month same time as my daughters I was wandering if I'm still protected ad I'm nearly 50 and would not want to chance another pregnancy as I been ill in hospital six months. With meningial encephalitis and been recovering still now for over six months
