i kept my mirena in for 21 months, i kept a diary of pain and bleeding as it was all over the place, when i looked back over it i realised i actually bled more often than not with it, it never settled for me, my cycle was very erratic and when i wasn't bleeding properly i was always spotting, just how it seems to be for some xx
I have had the mirena coil for 2 years now, and although my periods are lighter, And more erratic i continue to have them. I have also been on norethisterone at 45mg per day, for 3 months, but I still have pain and variable degrees of bleeding or spotting. Nothing seems to stop me bleeding, I even had spotting when on a 6 month course of decapeptyl last year
