If that's all good (as I assume it is since I can feel the strings) then I'll make an GYN.</p> <p>So no real update, but I'm glad I asked because she told it's definitely abnormal for something like this to randomly start up after 6+ months of nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021778 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:49:24 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1021778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted for the first month and then didn't bleed until I took it out for years later. First period back was a massacre though. I'd definitely bring it up to your doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021776 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:49:17 +0000 jhd 1021776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@futuremrsmck yes, that would be very frustrating. i'd probably ask about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021749 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:44:48 +0000 sandy 1021749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my Mirena in March 2012...I spotted for several months which drove me crazy. Then the spotting went away and I thought I would go back to having a regular cycle...nope, I would get my period for several days, then about 10-14 days of nothing, then spitting for a few days, nothing for 10-14 days then my period again...I felt like I was going to lose my mind! I finally had it taken in early July and for the first time in a long time I had several weeks of no period/spotting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021198 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:05:01 +0000 cascademom 1021198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that experience with the mini pill. I switched to a stronger, combination pill because I wasn't nursing and hated the spotting cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021195 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:04:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 1021195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: I wouldn't care if it was a light (or even a regular) period...that came once a month. As it stands, it's happening CONSTANTLY, but I can't predict it. I don't want to walk around with a panty liner in every single day but my poor underwear... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021183 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:01:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1021183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad you brought this up. I have no answers, but I got a mirena placed 2 months ago and I am still spotting! I've been spotting daily since I got it inserted. When will it stop??</p> <p>I would probably make the appointment with the obgyn just to be on the safe side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021181 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:01:26 +0000 jhd 1021181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow that would make me crazy! i had mirena for 3 years. never really had any spotting. my periods just got very very light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/q-about-iud-spotting#post-1021175 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:59:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 1021175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, this is starting to make me nuts. </p> <p>I got my Mirena placed last November. I lightly spotted for 6 weeks, and then nothing until like 2 months ago. Two months ago I bled for like 2 days, figured I wouldn't be one of the lucky ones with no period. It never got all that heavy and then it stopped. A week or so later it started up again, for a day or two. Now I'm on a "schedule" of sorts...I'll bleed for 2-3 days, then it will stop for 7-10 days, then start up again. </p> <p>Has anyone had this experience? I'm going to get a physical tomorrow and will ask the nurse's opinion, but should I also call and make an appointment with my OBGYN? </p>
