How are women supposed to have sex??? I only planned on having Mirena inserted for about 7 months before we start trying again, and now i'm wondering if it's a bad idea. I did not know about all the spotting!</p> <p>@Beebug: Whoa, you got your period pretty quickly! The bitterness will soon fade! It took me 6 months. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-after-mirena-iud-insertion#post-487634 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:39:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 487634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine put in mid-Nov (about 12 wk pp) and have been pretty much consistently spotting since. My midwife assures me it's normal and will likely taper off by 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-after-mirena-iud-insertion#post-487605 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:14:14 +0000 loveisstrange 487605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine put in at 6 weeks pp and haven't even had a period again yet. No spotting, nothing. From what I understand, I am by FAR the exception though. From what my midwife told me, it's normal to bleed for up to 6 months after insertion while your body adjusts.</p> <p>I think the longer after birth you wait, the more chance of bleeding, etc. you have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-after-mirena-iud-insertion#post-487603 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:11:49 +0000 Beebug 487603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am ebf'ing and have been bleeding like 90% of the time since having Mirena put in Dec 11th. Just about 12w pp, and pretty bitter (can you hear me screaming I want my body back?)</p> <p>I had a period the week before it was put in, so I'm really not sure what to chalk the bleeding to, but it seriously just sucks.</p> <p>I had about 2 hours of awful cramping right after, and then anything else has all been very period like pain/cramping-wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-after-mirena-iud-insertion#post-485864 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:07:49 +0000 Freckles 485864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 9 months i finally decided to get Mirena inserted, and the OB told me that a few days of spotting is normal. But i've noticed that the spotting changed into something more like my period had just started. I also have this gross feeling that's typical of my menstruation cycles.</p> <p>Is this something that typically happens after IUD insertion, or is it just a coincidence? I'm still BFing 6x a day so i was not happy about this! </p>
