Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I&#039;m 18. Got the mirena iud for prolonged heavy periods. I have been off and on of various forms of birth control for nearly 3-4 years trying to fix this problem. Birth control was working, but I wanted something more permanent because I was tired of taking the pill everyday. I&#039;ve had the IUD since Feb 28 and for the first few months my periods were everyday and heavy. Now it&#039;s August 12 and I still get periods, but they are very light(pantyliner bearable). However I&#039;m still concerned because I don&#039;t like the feeling of bleeding everyday, even if it is light. I&#039;m not satisfied with mirena and at this point I&#039;m not sure what to do about my period problems."
