Whats going on with my mirena? ?

Question

I have had the mirena for all most a year now and I still usually get a period, even if its only on and off for a couple of days. My period is due by now and it still is not here. I am having extreme back pain though and some clotting only when I wipe. Nothing has been spotting onto a panty liner at all the whole time. I am just worried that this is not normal. I have never clotted before.

Answer 1

i would go to your doctor just to be safe.... mirena freaks me out bc my best friend's cousin had to have surgery to get it removed so i know it does some wacky stuff... just call the doctor who prescribed it and tell them what's happening. it's probably nothing but u need a professional opinion when it comes to your body n ur health

Answer 2

Two friends that had Mirena both got cysts from it. It says on the label that it may cause them. Go to the doctor. Hope your feeling better soon.  

Answer 3

i had my mirena put in oct. 2007.  i still am really not sure when to expect a period, or what exactly to expect when it arrives.  i know the official website says it takes 6 months to adjust and get back to regular periods, but i think it should say more like a year.  i had clotting for the first time about 2 months ago, but that was with heavy bleeding (freaked me out, too).  i really don't know... so, i'm probably not much help.  all i can say is, it's probably normal.  mirena has greatly reduced my periods, but they are still very unpredictable.  this month for example, i spotted for 1 day.  crazy.

Seriously, get it taken out asap. After I had my son I had a mirena for 2 yrs, throughout that time I suffered from several ruptured ovarian cysts. Shortly after I had it removed my hubby and I started TTC. After 2 yrs of TTC I had to undergo a hysterosalpingogram where it was discovered that both of my fallopian tubes were full of adhesions and completely closed off, I had not been ovulating for an estimated 2 yrs. I had to take clomid to help me ovulate again, but luckily the third month it work and we are now expecting. Because of my experience with the mirena I will never trust or have another IUD, I'll just take the birth control and gain the weight.
