I've had the Mirena in for just over 2 years. My periods were getting lighter and lighter every month - like normal for the Mirena. Barely enough for a pantiliner, but still enough to know I wasn't pregnant.
Since about January, they've been kinda weird. I had a period around Christmas, then like only 18 days later I had another one - or maybe, maybe not, maybe just spotting. Then it was a while before I got another one, and I got all freaked out that I was pregnant, but no. It finally showed up. But then...just this last week - I had a very heavy period. Like a regular flow from before I was ever on the Mirena. I checked the strings and they're still there. I had my annual gyno exam about 3 weeks ago. Everything was normal. Why would it suddenly be heavier? Does it mean anything? Just a fluke? (let's just say it was a good thing I wore black pants one day....been so long since I needed that much protection...) Just curious. |

Strange. I've had the IUD, Mirena..for 3 years now and never experienced anything like that. Either I have a so called "period" or none at all. I've never had anything heavier then that. Have you asked the gyno? Maybe the gyno trip it's self did something.

heavier periods are a common side effect of the mirena iud. and its different for everyone. things like lack of sleep and extra stress can really do a number on your body's natural rhythm. and i know you have been under some extreme stress lately. i would probably attribute it to that. see how it lightens up after tax season is over haha

Yeah, it might be outside factors...
still, be sure to call gyno. |

ive had mirena iud for 9 months now after baby was born & i like it a lot better than the copper t shape kind i had before. hopefully i will leave this one alone. the last one i had i was in a drunken manic state--i laid down in the bathroom floor & yanked it out. dont ask me what was going thru my head. was without birth control for a year & got pregnant. had my baby girl last october & mirena seems to agree with my body.
