"follow up:  so it&#039;s been 1 month and i have had some bleeding everyday single day.   my first period after insertion was much heavier and i had cramps (one particular tough day) but spotting ever since.   i was a little worried  if the mirena is in the correct position and the gynaecologist says every thing appears fine and my lining is thinning correctly and that i should notice the spotting will come less frequently so i&#039;m going to stick with it and hope that everything  goes as she says it will.   i&#039;ve had no weight gain but my skin had had some minor trouble but other than that and the spotting everyday i feel great and am happy with my decision."
