How's the Mirena IUD? Mine just started acting up and I thought I was possibly pregnant. Went to the dr yesterday and…

I've had it once before and I hated it but I truly thought being on my period mattered for myself. I tried it again, mostly because I didn't feel there were that many "safe" choices for us. I don't like many of the other choices of birth control. I hate the whole "foreign object" inside of me but I felt comfortable trying it again.

I started reading more and more about issues with Mirena. I learned its "Normal" to spot/bleed irregularly. I knew that already but it just seemed weird the way it was happening.

I also read, many women bleed after sex so I started to think that might be the culprit. I'm just going to relax and take notes of what's going on and just continue to let my dr know.

Thanks ladies! :)

I got it right after my May baby and I hated it! I bleed for 6 months straight!!

Love mine so far I spot once in while but that's about it.

No problem here. I just got my cycle back a couple months ago, it is really light to where I only wear liners.

Same as pp no problems here

I have spotting every now and then with my mirena usually when my period would be due. Other than that I have had no issue with mines

I have the Paragard IUD, and I love it.

I hated mine!!! It was uncomfortable all the time! And it hurt when I had sex! I had to go in and have them take it out and replace it a few times but each time they said it hadn't moved and couldn't tell me y it was hurting me so much. It got so bad I had to have it removed. I stopped having my period after 2 months with it. Its something I never recommend to anyone because off the pain I went through with it.
