I got Mirena 5w1d after my daughter was born. I started bleeding a week after insertion and have been bleeding for 2 weeks now. The strings feel a little longer, but my cervix feels shorter so I guess that would make sense. I got this thing so I would have to worry about birth control, but now it seems like I'm constantly stressing over it. I'm tired of bleeding and worrying if it is still in the correct place. I really want to have it taken out but I keep telling myself to give my body time to adjust. Anyone else have it and have these issues/concerns? We moved from New Orleans back to Philadelphia since it was placed so I can't see the dr that put it in and the dr here can't get me in for a few weeks to check placement and give me peace of mind...ahhhh I hate birth control! Just needed to vent!
Re: Mirena
This dr normally does it at the 6wk check up but I would be moving before then so he agreed to do it at 5 week. Since I was already down to my pp weight and my uterus was back to normal size, he said the a week earlier wouldn't make a difference.
