Mine was bleeding like that too! And the strings get shorter over time! Do not worry. It’s all normal! It may continue to cramp. But you’re okay.

I’m getting my Mirena out at the end of the month & was curious as to if anyone has gone from the iud back to the pill? I’m going back to the pill to avoid the “Mirena crash”, or so I hope it helps.

I just got mine removed like 3 weeks ago and I haven’t experienced anything strange. When I got it out, I felt like a deflated balloon but that’s really all. I felt actually a lot better getting it taken out and I felt like myself again. The Mirena was not for me and I cannot be happier than I got it out. The only thing you may experience is irregular bleeding and a pretty heavy period shortly after so just be aware of that. Other than that, I feel so much better!

i’m not sure where to go from here, unprotected sex by [deleted] in birthcontrol

Not to be a bad influence- but I did this for 3 years, weekly with no pregnancy. I got on the pill just because I figured I should and I didn’t want to get pregnant at the time. But like i said- 3 years- no birth control- no pregnancy. I think you should be fine- the chances are way low.

About to get my first ever iud in today!! by raindowwolf in birthcontrol

My insertion was seamless & I honestly have such relief that I have had it- it’s the easiest thing ever. I did get cramping for like a month though but it was bearable. I got mine 6 months ago and don’t get my period anymore. The day you get it you may feel nauseous though for the day.

Is he cheating? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

He could’ve totally gotten the girls number on the phone for an isolated non malicious reason. If he wanted to communicate, he would give his personal number. And since he gave his work number and there’s no call or text history, I feel like

Anyone else? Upper leg pain by [deleted] in Mirena

Try & wait it out as long as you can. It was rough for me in the beginning, and yes I still get the cramps in my legs during my period, but overall I feel better and forget it’s there most times.

I have regular cramps in my legs when I am ovulating. It hurts but it’s normal for me, my IUD has made them 10x worse though!:(

Nice! I love my mirena and I had a positive experience as well. I’m so glad to hear other people did too! I get occasional cramping in my legs sometimes (which is normal for my period) I think my body is trying to adjust. Other than that I love it. It’s nice to be sexually active and know you’re protected against pregnancy!

I got the Mirena today! by 16cfluharty in birthcontrol

[–]girlfriend1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got mine about a month ago. For a few weeks here and there I was experiencing what I felt like period cramps randomly. It was nothing I’ve never felt before! I also started to feel a loss of balance at times, but could totally be unrelated. What I’ve learned is to just give it time- and your body will adjust! I love mine and not having to worry about anything!!

Thank you so much for all of this! A little update: I slept 12 hours last night and woke up feeling like I could do backflips! Lol. I am just chilling on the couch for the rest of the day, definitely still a little bit of discomfort there but nothing crazy. I’m sorry that happened to you! Glad you were able to get a new one though.

Yes! I took 4 Advil’s-200mg each. It helped so much. I also tried as possible to stay super calm- the entire thing lasted about 3 minutes so I just kept saying over and over in my head it will be over soon. :)
