abnormal uterine bleeding
"I have had Mirena for 3 yrs. 6 weeks after having my 2nd baby it was cramping with placement and a little after but nothing real bad. I drove myself home but a few days later I was bleeding a lot and it had a mind of its own. I had to always keep pads and liners on. After 6 months the bleeding slowed a lot then finally went away. I love the Mirena it is not as bad as the pill and it works wonders but I still have to be careful because if my period does start I never know when it will end. I talked to my doctor, we are trying to plan for a cooper IUD without any hormone to see if it changes anything but no doubt I would recommend it to any women being a young mother of 2 kids it works wonders for me."
