It definitely did not agree with my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2520254 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:39:51 +0000 peachykeen 2520254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5-3 months of mild spotting but then 15+ months of no period. So worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2520205 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 20:22:44 +0000 jmarionsmith 2520205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 months of heavy spotting!

I spotted for about a week or so after, then I had one random, light period about 9 months after that, and none since (8 months later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2520176 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:35:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2520176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saw the midwife today and she said up to six months of spotting is totally normal. Bleh. I'm hoping since so many people on here said 3 months that that's where it will stop for me (end of this month). Even so my guess is that side effect is less annoying than the side effects of the mini pill would be. So I'll deal with it. I swear my underwear are all getting worn out from having panty liners in constantly, between during pregnancy, pp, and now this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2520166 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:26:11 +0000 Mae 2520166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg it was awful. I spotted almost every day for like 3-4 months. Then it was like 2 weeks on 2 weeks off for another 5 months. Then just randomly spotting a lot after that until it finally tapered off around 9-10 months after placement. I was just about to get the thing pulled because I was so frustrated with it. But every since 9-10 mo after I've barely bled. I spot for like 2-3 days every month or two and that's it-- it's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2520165 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:23:57 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 2520165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted for a couple of weeks and then didn't get a period for 6 months. Got it for two cycles before having it taken out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518502 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:10:23 +0000 MrsSRS 2518502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted for six months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518499 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:08:54 +0000 lovehoneybee 2518499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first Mirena I bled/spotted for about 6 weeks, and then every few months after I would get a day of very light spotting. With this one I've been lightly spotting for 2-3 days of every week or two off and on since I got it at 8 weeks pp. Never enough for more than a panty liner, but it's irritating because it's unpredictable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518475 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:59:49 +0000 Ms.Badger 2518475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first Mirena, after L, I got at 12 wks pp and had spotting for like 2 weeks and never got a period (BF until the last 2 months). After J I got it at like 6 month pp (i was lazy) and spotted for like 2 months and now just have spotting once a month in the place of a period, I'm still BFing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518465 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:53:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2518465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted for a couple months with my first Mirena and just got my period for the first time with this one. It was very light, really only pantiliner worthy. With my first one, after the spotting ended I was period free for the entire time I had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518459 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:52:29 +0000 Adira 2518459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is weird. I had the Mirena put in while I was still nursing and before I got my period back (around 11 months), and I had a short period shortly after it was placed. Then I went a month with nothing, had a period and long spotting after which cleared up, then I had another period and even more spotting! It's so annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518441 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:45:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2518441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I mean if the long term benefits are no unplanned babies, that's worth some spotting! Plus id rather that than being on the pill, I didn't like how I felt on it at all, and I could only do mini pill for a long time anyway. So this is it for now but I'm hopeful it will stop soon. And yeah most days one panty liner is plenty. Just annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518430 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:41:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 2518430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had 2 Mirenas and with my first (pre-LO, not sure if that makes any difference tho) I spotted forever - like several months. It was annoying but long term totally worth it for the benefits of Mirena.</p> <p>With this most recent one (post-LO), I spotted for just a bit, like less than a couple of weeks. </p> <p>With both once the stopping stopped I either had no period or only spotting during AF time (and spotting so light a liner could easily handle it all day) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-after-mirena#post-2518425 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:39:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2518425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long, if at all, did you spot after having Mirena put in? </p> <p>I didn't get my period back until my first went down to one nursing session at 18 months. It was great. Never went on any form of birth control. I had Mirena put in at 10 weeks pp this time and have been spitting for two months now. It's really annoying. I have my follow up tomorrow so I'll ask about it but I'm afraid I'll be an unlucky one who just spots continuously. :sad: </p>
