Mirena question.

How long did you have your Mirena before your period stopped (if it stopped)? I'm wondering because last month I spotted a little and then had a very light period. Day before yesterday, the day I should have started my period, I bled a tiny bit but nothing after that. And nothing again today. My OB said that this is normal, but I'm just wondering what other peoples' experiences are.

Re: Mirena question.

  • I stopped after one month. Every now and then I will have a little spotting, but for the most part....nada.
  • I've had mine for about 2 years, and I get regular spotting every month. My period hasn't gone away completely, which is kind of comforting in a way. :) But spotting/light flow is normal when you have an IUD, on the whole. But it's good to get checked out if you're concerned.

  • I got regular periods for about the first 6 mos, but they were really light and lasted up to 2 wks each time.  Now, 1 1/2 yrs later I get my period about two to three times a year and it lasts about a day.
  • I've had mine for almost 2 years and although most months I don't have any spotting at all, I still do from time to time.  I don't think it ever goes away completely.

  • It stopped after one month.  I no longer have the Mirena, but didn't have a period for over a year while it was in.
