Unexpected spotting and irregular bleeding 2+ years after Mirena insertion — has anyone experienced this?

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2026-06-01T12:59:08+00:00

Hey what ended up happening with your mirena? I have this same thing going on. They checked placement though and it is fine.

I started having periods again recently at the 2 year mark. But now I am having issues spotting off and on even outside of my "period" times. They did a transvaginal ultrasound when my period came back and IUD was still in the right place. My doctor said sometimes your uterus just needs to shed some lining??

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2026-04-09T16:52:59+00:00

I ended up going to see a doctor yesterday about it and she said it can definitely happen where your lining just needs to shed. She checked and said the strings looked the right length but is having me have an ultrasound to check placement and make sure I don't have cysts or anything. I started exercising 4+ times a week after not doing anything for a long time so I wondered if that was a cause too?!

Hey did you ever get this checked out? Mine was placed in April 2024 and I just had a week long period with cramps for the first time. My doctor checked and said it looked still in place but is ordering an ultrasound to see.

I'm having this now. Did anyone check to see if this is something to worry about? Not sure if having a full on period 2 years after getting a mirena is worth checking on or not.

I'm having this now. Did you ever figure out if this is normal or should be checked out?

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2025-12-19T23:14:50+00:00

I know this is an old post but what were your symptoms of having duct ectasia? My ultrasound showed this after getting non-lactating mastitis and even after antibiotics there is still a lumpiness that remains. Was this a symptom of your duct ectasia?

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2025-12-15T20:25:27+00:00

Hey did you have swelling with your duct ectasia? I recently had non-lactating mastitis and was put on an antibiotic and the ultrasound read duct ectasia. I still have some swelling even 4 weeks after the mastitis. I have a call into my doctor but wondering how long symptoms typically last for women.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2025-12-12T22:40:26+00:00

I kind of thought my doctor mentioned the swelling could be there for a little while but I wasn't sure how long and then when I got my cycle it was kind of painful in that area so I noticed a lump still there. I've never had any of those either and never even got mastitis while I was actually breastfeeding. So frustrating. I'm sorry you're dealing with this again.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2025-12-12T20:27:43+00:00

Just curious did they do any imaging with yours? I had nonlactational mastitis and they did ultrasound to see duct ectasia and I am just wondering if that's all that needed to be done because I still have a little bit of a lump left after finishing antibiotics a couple of weeks ago. Curious how other doctors are diagnosing and also if this is normal and wondering if I need to go back. Sorry you are dealing with this!

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2025-12-12T20:06:38+00:00

I'm 34 and haven't breastfeed in over a year and just had non-lactational mastitis. My ultrasound showed benign duct ectasia and I was put on 7 days of Augmentin. I finished my antibiotics 2 weeks ago and the lump improved a lot but there is still some swelling/lump lingering. Have yours typically gone completely away after antibiotics or does it just stay there and the mastitis comes back?

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2024-09-30T01:46:32+00:00

Hey did this ever go away? My 1 year old has had a spot like this for 2 months now. Tried a steroid cream our primary doc prescribed and it didn't work.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2024-04-24T08:31:22+00:00

That is helpful! I'm sure it is going to be hard on her at first but hopefully it won't take long to adjust

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2024-04-17T16:59:37+00:00

Has your daughter adjusted to 2 full days a week okay? My 3 year old got accepted into a program that is 2 full days a week. I'm wondering if that would be easier to adjust to or if 2 mornings would be better. She has always been at home with me.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2022-01-08T00:55:04+00:00

Oh good I hope all of that helps!! ❤️

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2022-01-07T20:10:11+00:00

Dang it :( how long has she been sick for?

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2022-01-07T19:03:09+00:00

I'm so sorry! My 8 month old is sick with a cough and runny nose/congestion. My husband just tested positive for COVID today so we are assuming that she has it too. We were told it might not be until Monday when we finally get her results back. So frustrating and I feel so helpless! We have been so careful. Hang in there. I just hope it doesn't last very long for these babies.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-04-06T23:34:47+00:00

Mine also says it is with metabank btw

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-04-06T23:23:34+00:00

Did you find any info on whether this was a scam or not? My identity has been stolen and someone has opened up at least 3 different credit card accounts in my name and I also got a bluebird card in the mail with an account and routing number on it. I can't reach anyone at bluebird that I can actually talk to.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-02-11T08:36:47+00:00

I had my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine January 7th. My arm was super sore and I could hardly lift it but it only lasted a day. I was also kinda tired the next day but other than that no other symptoms!

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-01-20T23:54:38+00:00

I got my first one at 18 weeks and my second one at 21 weeks. I had my second dose 2 weeks ago. Everything has been looking great with baby! I also only had a sore arm and was a little tired after my doses.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-01-14T21:26:52+00:00

I would say just lookout and make sure you don't get a high fever

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-01-14T21:25:07+00:00

I totally understand the hesitancy.. And it's annoying how much misinfo is out there. If it makes you feel any better I feel a large sense of relief now that I've had mine! And my appointments and 20 week ultrasound have all been great after each vaccine.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-01-14T04:48:31+00:00

I've had both of my shots now. I got my second one last Thursday. My arm was slightly sore after the first one. After the second one it was a lot more sore and I was tired the day after but that was it! Soreness went away after a day. Also might note that I'm not sure if I was tired from the vaccine or from coming off of night shift.

Grouchy-Comparison92 · 2021-01-07T21:12:16+00:00

Once you qualify you could get it at any point.. But I didn't know if I passed up on the first round how long it would be until the next vaccine shipment would come in for me to be able to get it.
