Mirena

I have had the mirena in now for 5 months and have had no trouble with it. My periods have been normal with no spotting but this month when I was supposed to get my period I only got a bit of redish blood with some browny gooey discharge and that was it? I got all the cramps but no normal period? Is this normal or should I be worried about maybe being pregnant?

This is my 2nd month n my peruid was similar.. my doc told me i may have no periods longer i have the coil. So sounds like we are lucky to be period free.

The same has happened to me for that last month or so. The same type of discharge and it comes and goes. I also had spotting for the first 5 weeks. I had the Mirena placed Dec 8, 2014.

My periods stopped completely in that I had no bleed at all after the Mirena had settled down. Definitely do a test if you are worried though or seek some reassurance from your GP.
