You bet I wanted those 5 months of my life back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2110924 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 21:00:50 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2110924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 weeks of heavy bleeding, and I was convinced it was my first PP period but we'll see moving forward. Hope your bleeding is brief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2110915 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:47:10 +0000 Mae 2110915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty bad bleeding for like 10 days then it tapered off to a medium/heavy spotting for TWO FUCKING MONTHS. Sorry can we even say that on this board? People never swear. But like... SERIOUSLY? I was so angry. It got gradually lighter and I stopped spotting entirely at 3 mo but for the last 2.5 mo I've been spotting sort of a lot on and off (at least I seem to have a week or two off though...?) I am honestly really annoyed about it. I am giving it like another month and maybe getting it removed if this keeps up. But I'm sort of hesitant to do that because it IS improving....<br /> (FWIW I did ask and I"m within the range of "normal" even if I'm having a bit more bleeding than most... bah). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2110876 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:00:35 +0000 turquoisemama 2110876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I emailed my OB and she said it's totally normal.</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Oh man I hope it's not that long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2110845 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:07:43 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2110845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a mirena and bled for 5 months straight. When I took it out, the bleeding stopped after a few days. Hope you have a better experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2110067 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:13:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 2110067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe it's pretty common to bleed as your body adjusts, that's what my doctor told me about both the Mirena and the copper rod. </p> <p>Also, some people (10%) will have constant bleeding/spotting, I would say if it continues for another few weeks call and see what they recommend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109917 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:02:56 +0000 lamariniere 2109917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a copper iud placed at 8 weeks PP and bled heavily for a week after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109894 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:49:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 2109894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled for about 6 wk after placement (not heavy though, mostly spotting), and then spotted off and for 6wks after like 7 months (unexplained). Then not much in almost two years? Sometimes random spotting every few months, but very light and lasts a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109842 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:16:34 +0000 MenagerieMama 2109842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a least a week of light bleeding, maybe more more of period at first. But after it stopped I haven't had a period yet! All pretty normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109797 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 07:45:56 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2109797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was put in at 8 weeks pp as well. I bled off and on, mostly on, but really lightly for 2 months. Haven't noticed a period since then, but he's only 5.5 months and EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109592 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:47:37 +0000 jhd 2109592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one before LO and loved it. I had another put in at around 12 weeks PP and had several weeks of bleeding. It was annoying but my OB said that was normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109586 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:38:22 +0000 turquoisemama 2109586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: Wow that sucks! I wish my OB would have told me about this. The medical assistant said I might have some spotting but nothing like this. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109581 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:30:19 +0000 yellowbird 2109581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled for 6 weeks after placement :( it was terrible and I almost had it removed because I thought it would never stop. It finally stopped and I did t have a period for 10 more months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-after-mirena-placement#post-2109578 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:19:04 +0000 turquoisemama 2109578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did yours last and how heavy was it? I had some minor spotting the day of placement on Tuesday, but since then it's ramped up to a flow like a period, with clots and everything. It isn't terrible heavy though. My PP bleeding has been mostly stopped for a few weeks now other than a little brown spotting every once in a while. Could it just be a coincidence that AF came back right after I got the Mirena? I'm 8 weeks PP. </p>
