"i got the mirena last year a few days before thanksgiving and i bled (first heavy, then light spotting) all the way until new year&#039;s day, 2010.  my cycle renewed itself the 2nd week in january, and now, mid-february, i&#039;m still spotting.  i&#039;ve spent more dollars than usual for sanitary stuff, and this really disrupted my sex life.  my husband deploys overseas for work and gets to come home every 6 months he was home last month and the bleeding threw in a monkey wrench. i hate it.  i&#039;m always tired and moody.
