Mirena And Prolonged Bleeding
Posted: 04-07-08 13:54pm

I have had the Mirena put in over a month ago and I have yet to stop bleeding. It's not heavy but it is definitely noticeable. I assume this is normal. But when can I look at this to stop?

I am a health care professional =)
Hopefully will stop sooner rather than later for you.

Mirena has a 3-6 month adjustment time, which includes irregular bleeding and spotting, to EVERY DAY bleeding like you have.

Realistically, it could last 3 months, which is actually normal.

A little trick.. Ibuprofen reduces bleeding associated with IUD's. 600mg every 6-8 hours does the trick.
