I went in to have my mirena removed because it had some yucky side effects for me, including (but not limited to) bleeding for over two months. I switched doctors and this was the first time I saw this doctor (except a consult when I was pregnant with lo2) and she said that's normal and it takes six months to stop. I've heard it can happen but the way it sounded it was expected.

We're open to a 3rd (but not ready for one quite yet..mostly the pregnancy part) so that weighed into the decision to just forget about the mirena as well. But how can six months of bleeding be expected and people go for this???
