Mirena Coil

[sammyrobinson_x]

I have the Mirena Coil I've had it in since January 2015 and I've just started to have a very very light bleed its like rose colour, 1st time in over a year I've had to use a sanitary pad I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I don't have any severe cramping or anything it's just sort of come on out of the blue.

I had some breakthrough bleeding while I had my mirena, and I would advise you to tell your GP, just so they can check for/rule out other issues, but it is possibly just a hormone fluctuation. I think some people never lose their periods completely.

I've just had my mirena removed after 6 years (it can go over the time limit a bit when you are over 50) as I'm now definitely post-menopause. It worked really well for me, to stop endo pains and perimenopausal symptoms, and (mostly) my periods stopped completely. But about 18 months after I'd had it in - in Spring! - I had about 2-3 months of mild period-type pains and very slight bleeding. My Gp did some tests and sent me for an ultrasound just to check there wasn't any other cause, but all was okay. This happened twice more - always in Spring!!

I'm sure it's fine, but go and have it checked - sometimes it can be that they've fallen out!

Hope this helps, take care.
