IUD question

shea77 · May 2011

Okay so I've had my IUD for a couple of months now and I've had my period (light/heavy/spotting) in some shape or form since I got it put in.... is my period ever going to quit? i'm okay with getting a period but not having it for months nonstop.

any thoughts?

Give it a little more time. When I first got mine, I had a period for 3mths! It was FUN! NOT!

Now I just get a regular P! AND I hate it!

I would call your Gyn.. I don't think you should be bleeding for that long. I'm sure everyone's body reacts differently but that is a LONG time to have that going on..

I don't know about IUD's- just wanted to say that I feel for you. Periods nonstop suck!!!

Did you get the Mirena? I had spotting for about 3-4 weeks on and off. I have had one period since and I've had it in since August or September.

I just talked to my doctor about getting an IUD yesterday. She said irregular periods/spotting can happen for up to 6 months.

I didn't have anything with my first one, but have had quite a bit of spotting and bleeding this time around. They said it's normal for the first 6 months, then it should get better. I think if you hang in there it will be worth it!

Kristin- yes the mirena. Thanks everyone. I called and they said what you all said- it's normal for up to 6 months. This may be TMI but its really interfering with my sex life.

I got mine in September and had some off/on spotting for 6 weeks. That was it until last Tuesday when I got it pulled - my NP and I think that may have contributed to my 40+ pound weight gain over the past 6 months.

Mirena and Zoloft. Yanked the Mirena and started Beyaz alond with Celexa rather than Zoloft.

A tip for the sex life bit?have you ever tried the softcup? It's made by a company called Instead and is supposed to be alternate period protection that you can leave in during sex. Some people find removal a little messy, but I've used them before and if you do it right, it really isn't that bad. Worth a try during your 6 month break-in period.
