Hey Ladies,
I know I don't post too much but I have a question and am looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I am almost 9 weeks PP and got the Merina BC inserted at my 6 week PP check up. I started what I think is my first PP period 5 days later and have been bleeding ever since. I am currently on day 12 of bleeding. It's not super heavy but not light either. I need to wear just a normal pad and have to change it every couple of hours (TMI sorry).I feel fine and don't have any cramping or anything. The research I have done makes it seem pretty normal, and that bleeding can last up to a month or more but it doesn't stop me from worrying a little bit. I was just looking to hear from moms who may have had similar experiences with the Merina with their first PP period.
Thanks in advance ladies for the information!
Re: STM's who have had Merina
I had breakthrough bleeding for 4 weeks and a heavy period after it was placed. Then I had a period every 4 weeks until it was removed. Very, very light, but still there. So yes, I'd say that was very normal.
