I don't have the hormonal mirena IUD. However I have the copper IUD. From what I've heard from other women's first hand experiences, it is quite normal for a women to bleed for a while after the insertion of the the mirena.


Abnormal bleeding and cramps should also be expected during the adjustment period of several monhts. However, things will get better. Mirena users often report decrease in periods or no periods at all.

It is normal and may last up to 6 months (or so they say).

For me, it lasted for the whole 9 months and I finally got sick of it and got it taken out. But I'd wait it out for a while, because it goes away for most people.

I am having really bad sciatica pain down my whole right side. I just had it put in today and i am already wanting to get it removed. this is awful!
