WWYD
So on my 6 week appointment my OB recommended waiting until my next period to get the Mirena put in since I had my first period already (around 5 weeks). He said he would do it but he prefers waiting to do it during a period, I was fine with that since my OB after my second did it the same way.
My husband is due home very soon after almost 8 months so my OB gave me a pack of German birth control. But I never started taking it because it would have delayed my period and I was thinking I would get my period and get the IUD right before or while my husband was here. Well, so far still no sign of my period and I have also been reading today that many of you spotted for about a month after you got the Mirena. I had the Mirena before but I can't remember if I bled a lot right after. I don't think I did but I do NOT want to be bleeding while my husband is here since he will be here only 2 weeks.
I was thinking I will just wait until next month to get my IUD put in so I won't potentially bleed the whole 2 weeks he is here (he won't be home again until November/December after these 2 weeks). I thought that I could go ahead and start this German birth control pill and that might just make my period be delayed. I am okay with that. I know that should not be the only form of birth control since it won't be in my system long.
So what would you do? I just starting thinking about this a little bit ago and it is almost 8 pm so I can't call my OB for his advice.
