I have had my IUD since December and I really love it, but I am concerned because my periods are beginning to slack off. Last month I had cramps and bled for maybe an hour, and this month, my period still hasn't arrived. It's weird, as much as having a period bums me out, NOT having one just makes me nervous. I just wanted to know if other women with the Mirena IUD are having the same experience.

I have had the same thing. Don't worry. It is completely normal. I have only had light spotting once, and have not had a single period since. According to the manufacturer, 20% of users stop having periods all together. Check to make sure your strings are still in place. If so, you are fine.

many females persons on Mirena finally end up scuffling with their classes thoroughly at on the subject of the 6 month to a three hundred and sixty 5 days factor. Take a attempt in case you're owrried, yet I doubt which you're pregnant or that your IUD has failed considering the fact which you lost weight. **Edited to characteristic: The Mirena has hormones in it and it does additionally artwork to stay away from ovulation. The hormones are why you end having classes. that's the Paraguard IUD which has no hormones and works by technique of inflicting the inflammation in the lining this is a adversarial ecosystem for sperm.

It is VERY common with the Mirena IUD. Check the Manufacturers website or talk with your GYN/Midwife. I wouldn't be concerned because it is so common but it would still be good to talk with your healthcare provider. Mirena advertises little or no period. It's because of the hormone that is transferred to your body by the IUD.

its the greatest side effect in the word isn't it, it made me nervous also in the beginning. I stopped having my period about 6 mths after getting my Mirena IUD. Just enjoy it, its not a bad thing or something to be worried about.

That is normal. I have had Mirena for 3 years and haven't had a period in 2 years.
