Mirena - random cramping??

chelle828

I got my Mirena in August.  My periods have been funky, but consistent, meaning they're longer than they were and some days heavy and some days barely spotting.  After the first month or so I wasn't ever crampy.  I'm about 2 weeks into my cycle and I am having random cramps.  They never last long but they are sharp.  Something I should be worried about?!

I don't have any advice as I don't have regular periods, on Mirena or off. However, I do get the random cramping you are talking about. I've had u/s to make sure everything is good and it seems like it's just a normal side effect. I guess the first 6 to 12 months of Mirena is just weird. Unless you are in extreme pain, bleeding profusely or can't feel the strings, you should be ok. But as always, if you are truly concerned, call your ob/gyn.
