Anyone have weird periods?

Question

I had my Mirena IUD inserted in April of 2014, and my periods have been wonky. I'll have a 2 week long period, then no period for 3 months. But I get really emotional, insane cramping, headaches etc. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if they have any advice?

Answer

I also have mirena and get 2 week long periods every month and have had mine for 3 years, I have really heavy bleeding though and have decided to have the mirena removed when they tried to remove it they found out it had become embedded which may have been a cause for the abnormal periods and why they were so heavy but in most cases I would say irregular bleeding is really common. I would say make sure you get it checked every six months to make sure everything its still fine

Answer

Yes, I've had my Mirena for over a year now and I find my periods are quite irregular. Never any heavy flow, but spotting for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks later more spotting, then sometimes if I'm lucky no period for a month. The cramps and PMS can be intense sometimes. I've thought about getting it removed but I'm forgetful and sometimes wouldn't remember to take my pill for three days 😳.
