Mirena users

I have a few questions for those of you who have/have had Mirena.

1. When did the constant spotting stop?

2. When your normal cycle should have come around how did you feel?

I've had Mirena since the first week of September and have been spotting almost non stop since.

When my regular cycle is about to roll around I've been extra emotional (episodes of ugly crying), having insane food cravings (I'm a bottomless pit!), extra bad cramps, and I've been lightheaded.

Anyone else with Mirena dealing with similar symptoms?

It has become so noticeable to me that today I actually POAS because I felt so off. I was nearly 100% sure I wasn't preggers but I had to rule it out.

    My spotting stoped around 3 months after i had it placed. I still get wicked PMS and spot when i should have a period. The cramps are bad but get better after about 6 months.

    I didn't have any spotting when I had one between DD1 and DD2. I had 2 or 3 lighter then normal cycles then no periods till I had it removed when we started trying for DD3. I wouldn't say it had pjs symptoms. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I hope things get back to normal for you soon.

    I've been spitting since I got mine in September also but the last few days I have noticed it is slowing down. I spotted some today but that's it since about 3 days ago. I also have been having the same symptoms as you I took 3 hpt's lol, I would give it a little longer.

    My Mirena has made me feel the same! I was spotting everyday for the first 3 months, then on and off.. I don't think I've had a regular period yet.. Just some days I'll spot a little more. And yes I too thought I was preggo bc I feel nauseous at times, more emotional than usual ( I cried while watchin Forrest Gump ? ) I gag while brushing my teeth and at random smells.. I'm not sure I like Mirena so far.. If it continues I might just go back on the pill .

    This is the 2nd time I've had Mirena. The first time about 7 years ago I spotted for about 3-4 months then would get a period, not have one for about 2 months then get one and then 2 weeks later have another. However, after about a year of having it I stopped having periods until I took it out which was in Feb. 2011. 
    This time around I spotted for about 3 1/2 months. I'm only spotting on my monthly right now. I figure will probably go back to not having a period after a couple months(hopefully). I am like you where I get insane food cravings and can just keep eating and eating. I haven't been real emotional but that may be because of the Zoloft I'm on for PPD. I have been like Elizabeth2585 having sensitivity to smell again and getting nauseous at times. I POAS about a month ago just hoping I wasn't pregnant again(not sure how I would have handled 3u2).
    Just know that you are not the only one going through this.

    This is me too, minus the preggo-like symptoms.
