The day my daughter turned 2 months old on August 8th, I got Mirena. I was just curious if anyone else have used Mirena (or currently using Mirena). Since I got mine, I have had mild cramping almost everyday with some light bleeding. Plus, even tho in the pamplet/booklets it states tampons can be used, since I had my Mirena I haven't been able to use them. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced any of this. I have an appt with my doctor coming up but I wanna see if I am alone in this.
Bedsider.org has tons to birth control info and a huge question and answer section. I bet you could get some good info there.
This is a MUCH discussed topic around here! You are not alone, and from what you describe you are not experiencing anything out of the normal.
If you do a search on here about IUD or Mirena you will find tons and tons of information regarding lots of our experiences with this!
You may or may not get many posts on your question it is a highly asked question so some may not post because there answer is already up do a search on top of the page for Mirena,IUD,Birth Contol you will get many hits then you can read at your own leisure what the other questions are similar/identical to yours there are many posts...
I have the Mirena. I was crampy the first day only. Light bleeding/period occassionally and I am able to wear tampons. I have had mine for about a yr. Love it. Your symptoms are ones I would speak to your doc. about. Good luck!
I had a Mirena for almost 2 years. My doctor highly recommended it (told me it was the "best thing since sliced bread"). I don't have much luck with taking progesterone though, and I ended up with daily spotting almost the entire time I had it. However, I was told that the longer you have it the lighter your periods will get. I would hang in there with it for awhile. If the cramping doesn't get better soon, I would tell your doctor. Good luck!!
