Bleeding between periods mirena
Common Questions and Answers about Bleeding between periods mirena
period
Hi everyone, I'm 27 years old, I've never had kids or have been pregnant or on birth control. I've started randomly bleeding between periods about 1.5 years ago. At first it started as just a strand of blood in my otherwise normal discharge, then I started having blood tinged discharge after exercise and after orgasm (no penetration). Since about year ago, it's gotten progressively worse to wear I'm bleeding in between every period.
Changes in menstrual bleeding are common. Women may have bleeding and spotting between periods, especially during the first few months. Sometimes the bleeding is heavier than usual, however, the bleeding usually becomes lighter than usual and may become irregular. Mirena makes the lining of the uterus thin, and this thinning causes lighter periods. Twenty percent of women completely stop having periods after using Mirena for a year.
had a pap, which is good since its been 5 years since my last one, and talked about getting an IUD again; had Mirena perviously and took it out...happy to get it again as I never had periods with it the last time; just have to wait till I get my period again to have it inserted. Told me I'll get results back within a week. I called my husband after my appointment and he said he was afraid I was pregnant (we don't use contraception) and then he gave me a panic attack!
What did you find out? I have had mirena for 2.5 yrs and had normal periods the whole time. Although they are "real normal" periods; I've always had at least 5-7 days, sometimes more, of VERY heavy bleeding. With mirena my periods last 3-5 days mostly moderate to light bleeding. The first day of my last period was 12-6, I had mirena taken out on the morning of 12-17. We are ttc and I had the signs of ovulation about the time mirena was taken out.
Bleeding in between periods can happen as you adjust to a new birth control, but to me, this sounds like a bigger issue then that- since you are on the third pack and you had the same issue with another hormonal birth control option. Have you called your doctor to let them know the abnormal bleeding is still going on?
There are other non-hormonal options or light hormone options that you and your doctor could discuss trying instead- to see if that helps.
Hi.. I have had the mirena iud for about 1 year and 1/2. I have almost completely stopped having periods. However, now in between 'my periods' I have random spotting/blood clots. Sometimes with sudden cramping.. Bad cramps and then a little bleeding after or the next morning. Anyone else have this problem?
I had the paraguard for 4.5 years. .. I too had severly heavy periods and for the last year they lasted anywhere between 10 and 15 days. Also I cramped horribly worse with it. Literally as soon as they took it out my next period was 5 days with no cramping at all. Now I know it affects every one differently but the dr that took mine out said she removed 80% of them because of the super heavy and extended periods.
Hello,
The Mirena can be an excellent way to improve menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding). The hormone in it, Progesterone, thins the uterine lining making periods lighter and in 20-30% of women there periods end after 1-2 years (which some women like, some don't). Also, it won't affect your blood pressure.
However, there are other ways to address menorrhagia. Talk to your ob/gyn about all of your options and decide which is best for you.
Best regards,
Dr.
I had the Paragard a couple of years ago. It made me have two week long periods and I spotted in between. I eventually had it removed. I went for a year or so with no birth control. This past October, I decided to try the Mirena. I have spotted a brown FOUL smelling bloody discharge ever since. It is so embarrassing. I smell it and hate it but the kicker is, the other night, my little boy laid his head on my lap, then raised up suddently, saying, "Mommy, did you fart??
I had a copper IUD at first but my periods were painful and i had such heavy bleeding i was soaking through extra heavy tampons and pads within 40 minutes. I had it replaced with the pill and within the first 3 months i was pregnant. I lost the baby but after that i switched to mirena and the heavy flow stopped, infact my periods sorta stopped all together. I have read hideous side effects about mirena but it has worked for me.
I had my Mirena removed on Thursday August 21. I started having light spotting on Sunday the 24 and a little bit everyday since. Is this my period or what? How long will it take for my body to return back to normal? I had the Mirena for almost 4 years and didn't have periods while I was on it.
I am 47 and have suffered all my life with heavy painful periods. 3 years ago I had the mirena coil fitted to no avail. For the last 6 months things have become unbearable.. I loose 2 days from work each cycle, vomitting, low BP, severe cramps followed by large clots and four days of constant heavy bleeding. Help!
In the past 5 months, maybe because the Warfarin kicked in, my periods became unbearably long (between 10- 13 dats), extremely heavy (I need to wear 4 Super pads & change every 2 hours) & irregular pattern (sometimes 2, 3 or 4 weeks between cycles).
I've become anaemic, bloating & heavy in the tummy & very very tired all the time!
As I don't really want to do a Hysterectomy, my Gyno suggests I have a Mirena (T shaped object) surgically inserted into my uterus.
If you have only recently then you may well still get periods for a few months. Most women stop bleeding after 3 months some like me still are having periods 9 months later. It can take up to 12 months to not bleed and other women continue for years having a very slight bleed. Every woman is different and there is no set rule.
Generally speaking if it is not overly heavy or painful then it can be normal.
More information about your case would be a help to understand your problem.
Hi, I had a baby in feb 2012.... After 6 weeks had mirena fitted....ended up having the coil removed after a month, as felt ill and really bloated out as if I was pregnant again so had it removed on the 3 may. I bleed the next day for a week. And since then I have had no period or any sort of bleeding at all....I have done 3 pregancy tests, they have all said negative..anybody else had these problems...
I got the copper iud last nov. It works, but I don't know if the bleeding is worth it. I joked with my dr that, ya it good, because I can't ever stop bleeding long enough to have sex :) haha. I have a appt to get it checked. If everything is okay I am going to keep it in because like I said, it works!
Does anyone know when I should count/expect my next period cos if its from the first bleed I'm late!!! If the second I'm not!?
