I'm experiencing the same thing! Had mine placed 11/2011. I'm 36y/o. & ready for babies. My periods are absolutely HORRIBLE! Flowing like a faucet, painful clot passing, not to mention the gross mess! I'm so over it! My doctor says bc my periods were so bad before then this is actually normal. I beg to differ! Why do I even have this thing if I'm gonna experience the same problems? The only thing is that it costs $200 just to get it removed!

I need some advice. I have always been irregular when it comes to my period. I go about 6 to 11 months without one. Starting in November of last year I have started my period have horrible pain in my stomach and have not stopped passing huge blood clots. I went to my OBIN she wanted to put the merina in. So I got in put in. I'm still bleeding a few weeks back I felt this light burn feeling in my lower back for a few days, then I start getting sharp pains in my left ovary. It causing me to miss work because I can barely walk. Take in mind I'm not sexually active person. My OB did ultrasound but found nothing, they also did vaginal ultrasound then she pushed to the left side I almost come off the table from the pain. She still said they found nothing. Still have the pains and taking 800 mg of motrin around the clock and still feeling the pain. Plz I need some help or some answers

I've had my mirena for about a year now, have kinda had complications throughout it. Nothing to be too concerned about. But now I've been spotting with dark & light blood, kinda more than spotting. Enough to ruin my panties. I've been having cramps as well, kinda like just going through a period. It happens every so often, but my gyno told me that I would never bleed again... And then moved out of town, lol. Please someone help.

I had the Mirena IUD put in a year ago..this is the 2 time I have been on the Mirena, after my son was born in 2007 and last year after my daughter was born in april. I had no period at all after getting it with either time..I did breastfeed both my babies for a year after born. Well yesterday I noticed light spotting (like pink blood ) followed by some light to mid cramping (like u get from a period ) for just a couple of hours. The cramping stopped after couple of hours and had very little spotting when I wiped today but was still enough to turn the to let paper a very light pink....has anyone experienced this or have any advice.

I've had my Mirena for 3 1/2 years and have only had light spotting once in awhile, but yesterday I started having heavier bleeding, but not a full period type. but enough that I have to wear something to protect my clothing. I called my Gyno and they said sometimes theres medicine they give to help stop the bleeding. But after reading all these "3 years on Mirena" issues, I'm thinking maybe my hormones in the Mirena have worn out too? I wasn't due to have it changed out until 2018, but maybe I need it sooner. I've had no issues with strings being felt by hubby, and I've had literally NO period for 3 years which I love. I am 45 yrs old, too old to have kids and I know menopause is slowly around the corner, so I'm just trying to make it easier. Thanks for all the posts. Its helped a lot. I think the best advice is to go to the doctor if youre unsure, and since everyone seems to be saying the same thing, chances are the Mirena hormones are probably wearing out. Still debating whether or not to get another one, or just try a diff form of Birth Control. Goodluck to everyone else.

I had light pink bleeding every so often, generally when my teenager was on her period. Our bodies must've been in sync. The Gyno says you still experience period symptoms, usually without the bleeding, but light spotting is normal, and I had it periodically over the past 3 years.

Im having this exact same issue. Mines been in for 2 years and its been great! But all of a sudden super heavy clotted bleeding!! Light cramps now and then. Did u find out what was wrong!?

I had this problem! The device was dislodged - get a different doctor!!! He is a piece of sh*t!

Yes! Your symptoms/experience sounds identical with what i am experiencing; related to the 3 years of no period aside from some break through bleeding the first few months after implementation., I also had nothing. All of a sudden a few months ago, I started experiencing rather sharp cramps and then some sporadic bleeding and PMS like symptoms I hadn't had in 2+ years. Emotional lows and energy loss were other recent experiences in addition to my lightheaded feeling. i'm in my mid 30s and have no children or previous pregnancies. Very curious if there is hormonal imbalance or shift related to the device.

You are very helpful in this post in re to the stress. Going through the same 38 years old and no health insurance right now but have been bleeding for a few days and freaking out because I don't know what I would do if I had to go in and remove it. But I've been severely stressed over the past three months after being laid off and other pretty big life events. For your post.
