I think I may have internal bleeding?

Question

My doctor inserted the Mirena IUD in me about a week ago, at the very end of my last period. I stopped menstrating for two days and now I am bleeding as heavily as if I were again for the past three days.... Does anyone have any idea why? I just needed some insight before I call my doctor.

Answer 1

Too many possibilities. You need the doctor to do a good examination. It could be from the IUD itself, it could be from the progesterone, it could be that you have a defective IUD and it is causing something it shouldn't, it could be completely not related to the IUD.

No matter what, you don't need to know before you call. That is the doctor's responsibility. Three days is plenty enough to have the doctor not think this is a over-anxious response.

But you might want to take your temperature before calling, so you can answer if they ask that.

Answer 2

This is a pretty common side effect of IUD insertion. If the bleeding becomes so heavy that you're using a super pad or tampon every 1/2 to one hour for more than 6 hours straight, call the doctor immediately or go straight to the ER; it may indicate hemorrhage. Also, if the bleeding is not clotting when you sit still or if it's just as heavy sitting as when you're active, or if it is accompanied by abdominal pain.

Answer 3

My mom trained as a nurse, she told me that an easy way to tell internal bleeding was if you stand up and your fingertips turn dark blue/purple/black.

I know with the pill you'll bleed for one and a half or two weeks while your body adjusts to hormones. If you're concerened i would go back to your doctors office just to make sure everything's alright.

Answer 5

you may have endometriosis, in which case the Mirena would irritate the situation, do call your doctor.
