Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"Inserted July &#039;16 to control extremely heavy periods.  Insertion-tolerable with a day of cramping.  Within a week, I started having constant leakage-requiring a liner every day. Cycle 1-3 were lighter-but LONGER.  (10+days compared to 5-6 days)  I also started cramping, which I hadn&#039;t done since puberty.  The leakage NEVER stopped. I scheduled a removal because constant leaking and wearing a liner every single day wasn&#039;t something I could deal with anymore...feeling unclean made being intimate with my husband very difficult.  AND in 3 months I&#039;ve gained 10 pounds. Sadly a family emergency required me to put off removal by a week.  This 4th cycle is a nightmare.  HEAVY bleeding with golf/ baseball clots. I wish I&#039;d never had Mirena inserted."
