Bleeding in between periods is common in the first few months of using Mirena, but gets better with time. Yellow discharge is not a normal Mirena side effect, and deserves to be discussed with your health care provider.
After removal, normal fertility is regained after a few months, with a near-normal 80% of women able to conceive within 12 months.
Pregnancy symptoms are not a normal side effect of Mirena removal. Take a pregnancy test.
You don't have a normal "menstrual cycle" when on Mirena, although you may have vaginal bleeding. Pregnancy with Mirena is unlikely whether or not you are bleeding.
Go see your OB/GYN doctor at once. We can't tell from here, and it is not normal.
Checking for actinomyces is not part of the normal standard of care for IUD insertion or removal.
I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with the Mirena. I too had the Mirena and experienced the same issues as yourself over an 8 month period. It turned out that I had several oversized Fibroids and the Mirena did not help with the stemming of heavy bleeding. I had my Mirena removed and subsequently the Fibroids - best thing I ever did. I know they say it can work instantly or may take a couple of months, but it depends on how long you want to continue with things they way they are. Good luck with which ever dicision you make.
Yes, absent periods are a normal side effect of Mirena.
Yes . Is it normal ?
Yes, it can be normal to experience spotting after being on the Mirena IUD for a year. Many users may have irregular bleeding or spotting, especially in the first few months of use, but this can continue for some over time. If the spotting is heavy, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
My Doc told me it works an hour after being placed. he reccomended waiting longer, because of the pain from the insertion, though. As soon as you feel like it, really ;) S
I can't say that it's 'normal' or a common symptom, just that it's also happening to me along with severe back aches.
No! You shouldn't be bleeding unless you're not pregnant!
