Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I&#039;m 28 years old. No children.  I switched from the nuva ring to the mirena. I&#039;ve had the mirena for 10 months. Insertion was not painful for me, just try and relax (I rested my arms above my head and it helped my cervix open more). I had one day of painful cramping the first month. For 8 months I had normal/lighter periods once per month. The past 2 months I have been spotting and bleeding almost everyday with abdominal cramping. It&#039;s like having a period every week for 8 weeks. I&#039;ve had the mirena placement double checked and had a abdominal check up; nothing abnormal found. Still bleeding/spotting now, but it&#039;s manageable. Hoping this will pass."
