I just had it removed two weeks ago though to start ttc #2 and holy god the bleeding afterward. It was ten days of pure hell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372225 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 15:59:45 +0000 Beth24 2372225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I bled for a couple weeks after I got it inserted. About 1 year later I get a lighter version of my regular period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372159 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 13:50:49 +0000 MamaG 2372159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was similar to @sandy: I hated my mirena. I really wanted to love it, but I spotted for six months straight and then I had it removed because I just couldn't take it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372142 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 13:24:44 +0000 shopaholic 2372142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the responses. I think I'll wait until 6 weeks to see if I'm still spotting. I'm hoping very much that I'll be in the "no period" camp - which is what sold me on the Mirena. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372124 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 12:40:08 +0000 sandy 2372124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm totally in the minority but I spotted nonstop while on Mirena - like spotted for weeks after it was inserted AND THEN spotted on and off the entire time I had it. I had maybe 2 weeks out of a month where I wasn't spotting. It was terrible and I hated it. Once I had it removed I went back to just having a regular period. I hated that thing so much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372117 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 12:35:50 +0000 MamaCate 2372117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I am only 4 1/2 months pp so I don't know if that affects it? My ob said periods should get lighter and some people have them disappear entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372059 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 10:13:31 +0000 winter_wonder 2372059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm remembering correctly, I had some spotting for a few days afterward but that was it.</p> <p>After about 2 years I stopped having a period altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372053 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 10:03:26 +0000 Eko 2372053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I actually ended up getting mine removed around 6 weeks. I developed nasty side effects and thought the continual bleeding was ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372044 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 09:43:13 +0000 Smurfette 2372044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: @jape14: @oliviaoblivia: @MamaCate: @Eko: @lovehoneybee: Dang! I am the only one that has spotting every month? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372039 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 09:33:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 2372039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much the same as @Eko: . I had some super light breakthrough spotting every few months after (like for *maybe* a day), but never a real period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372027 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 09:19:43 +0000 Eko 2372027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a heavy bleed 1-2 weeks and spotting for about 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372022 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 09:00:52 +0000 MamaCate 2372022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any bleeding right away but then had spotting for about a month. My ob said it was normal. No periods since but I am EBF still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2372018 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 08:57:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2372018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted for a week and then didn't bleed again until I took it out four years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2371979 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 07:47:45 +0000 jape14 2371979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted the day I got it and for about a week afterward, but it was very minor. In the year-ish that I've had it, I've only had one period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2371977 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 07:39:28 +0000 yellowbird 2371977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled for about 5 weeks but I haven't had a period since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2371975 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 07:32:04 +0000 Smurfette 2371975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't bleed when I got it. At least I don't remember. I was also 10 weeks PP so lack of sleep could have me forgetting. </p> <p>Since then I have a period each month. But it is 5-7 days of spotting. I maybe have to use one tampton a month. I'm not looking forward to my regular full on period when I get it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-bleeding#post-2371962 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 05:26:15 +0000 shopaholic 2371962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had/have the Mirena, how long did you bleed after insertion and how often do you bleed/spot?</p> <p>I've had mine almost 2 weeks. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I feel like I instantly bloated and got a heavy period that is like on 2 days, off a day, on again 2 days, off, and so on. I know the doc said some bleeding and cramping is normal. Just reading some horror stories and need to hear how long this can go on before I should be worried. </p>
