Ive had the Mirena in for three months now and I haven't stopped bleeding since and I have period like cramps every day! Was anyone else's experience like this? My doctor says that's normal and I'm about ready to have him take it out. It's so nice not to even have to think about birth control though.
Ugh me too!!! He kept saying "well I told you there would be spotting" this is more like a period lol. How long have you had yours? I'll give it another month I guess.
I have Mirena as well. My heavy period like spotting lasted about 4-6 weeks. I also get crampy at times, but I feel like it could also be when my period would have normally come. It still pokes my husband during sex though. I'm not thrilled to have this thing in but the other options don't sound that much better. I'm planning to go have my strings checked soon to see if thy can at least trim them. They poke me too sometimes!
Spotting for months is completely normal unfortunately. Invest in lots of black undies! The good news is that after about a year I had no bleeding or period at all.
