Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I have had the mirena for almost 5 months and I can&#039;t say it&#039;s for me. The insertion was not bad but bleeding for 83 days after was pure hell!! The cramps, both abdominal and back have been horrible even on the few days I don&#039;t bleed. After the 83 days of bleeding I stopped for about 4 days and it started again, it has been like a hit and miss as far as when to wear a pad and when I don&#039;t need to. To be safe I usually wear a panty liner everyday just in case. I keep hoping it will get better but it doesn&#039;t seem like it will. I have talked to my dr and she informed me it could take up to a year for my body to get&quot;used&quot; to the mirena and that I should just be patient and try it for a year."
