Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"At age 38, I had a Mirena inserted. It was uncomfortable and I had spotting for the next 2 weeks. My doctor informed me of this so the bleeding was expected. I have been having light periods every 2-3 months for 6 days. This month after a year of having the Mirena, I have the never ending period! It&#039;s been 3 1/2 weeks and counting and I&#039;ve got the most horrible cramps. They started before my period and I need to take Advil daily to get through the day. I have no idea what is going on after all this time. Is this normal?! My doctor kept telling me I&#039;d be so happy and satisfied by this and have less bleeding and likely no
periods. I&#039;m going to see her in a couple weeks but I&#039;m really starting to wonder if this is the birth control for me."
