Bleeding On Mirena?? Posted: 06-12-07 17:10pm
Okay as some of you may have read my
previous post about concern with damaging
my cervix. Well I have the mirena iud in
place for over a year now..no periods or
bleeding since. Well today I noticed a
bit of bloody discharge. Has anyone else
experienced this on mirena or do you think
it could have been from the vigorous
sexual activity hitting my cervix over 3
weeks ago???

I think that if you were still recovering
from vigorous sex 3 weeks ago, you would
have other more serious symptoms. I bet
it's from the mirena. Is it still in
place? Can you feel the strings and
everything? Are you feeling any cramping
or just bleeding?

IT is normal to bleed occasionally with
Mirena, even if you completely lost your
period at one time.
Not all women lose their periods on
Mirena, so if you did you should consider
yourself lucky.
Most women will have some type of spotting
or bleeding.

I ended up going into the er last tuesday.
The bloody discharge was just completely
abnormal and was accompanied by
excrutiating painful cramps especially on
the right side. I was diagnosed with
pelvic inflamatory disease. They did of
course check to see if it was caused by an
std because most pid cases are. I however
did not test positive for an std. The
doctor said it could be caused by other
infections as well but they don't have
tests to pinpoint exactly what caused the
infection. He also said my uterus looked
"banged up" which I am thinking is still
from that night of intercourse a month
ago. I was put on an antibiotic for 2
weeks. I was told if I did not improve
within 48 hours to go back in immediately.
Well come saturday I was the worst I had
been. I couldn't even get out of bed all
day due to the cramping. I have scheduled
an apt for tomorrow afternoon for a follow
up. I am still confused at the on and off
bloody discharge and cramps. If it was an
infection.....the antibiotics they put me
on in conjunction with the shot of
antibiotics they gave me at the hospital
that it would start feeling better. So
now my mind is wondering....could my iud
have preforated my uterus by getting moved
around? Is it that easy to move around?
I wouldn't think so but this was very
vigorous.
I called the clinic just to put my mind at
ease before scheduling an apt. and they
said that it couldnt have preforated the
uterus by that....I just don't agree.
Grrr I am soooo very frustrated with all
of this.

I developed PID from 'bacterial
vaginosis', which I am prone to, but did
not notice that time around.
You have naturally occurring bacteria in
your vagina, and some bad bacteria could
have made it's way up.
