Not sure where I need to post this. I have a 5 yr old and after having him I got the iud mirena, I loved it until my last year of having it so I got it removed & switched to the pill. I got pregnant with my daughter while taking the pill. I had her sept 1. Dec 11 I got the iud again. Well I've been bleeding since then. Some days it's red, or pink, or even brown..I called because my first time having it I didn't bleed like this. She said its normal to bleed up to 4-8 weeks after having it inserted. It's now been 5 weeks. And I'm still bleeding & also have cramping!!! I plan on getting it taken out next week. But I don't know what to get!?! Can you tell me what you have? Or what you like or even what you dislike?? Please help me!! My appointment is set for next Friday so before then I'd like to find something else to get.
There's a birth control you can have surgically implanted into your arm. I'm thinking about getting that after my daughter is born. I've never been on birth control though.
@ciaramarie311, no I didn't gain any weight at all. and yes and sometimes they were irregular like a month or two without one but I would bleed normal when I did get it.
