@Tastydcorpio25 thanks for easing my mind I wanted to call my doc but I wont anymore. Now im worried at my period. Hasn't came n late. N sex since I got it in so not pregnant but still. I can't wait for my body to adjust to this.

@MsLulu111 Before I got my iud or mad the decision to get it placed I had a consult. Mandatory by the gyn... so I kind of knew what to expect. Not having a period or light to non is an affect. When my periods come now they are spotting to nothing 1-3 days, so its normal. After I had my iud placed it was mandatory that I came it 2 weeks after having it place to make sure it was in properly...have u had an appointment since you got it in?

I have the mirena iud I also had the insane cramping. Its only been 2 weeks n I tried looking for it but can't find it. Still get cramps. Idk what to do.

@MsLulu111 After I had mine placed I went to the doctor 3xs afterwards because of the pain and discomfort, I though that the Iud had came out. The thing is once its in, its in. I usually check for strings but I personally never feel them, but its still there.... Now 8 months later im loving it and my results...thanks for watching and please subscribe

Ive had mine for six years after about seven months my monthly stopped still havent had one which i do « love didnt gain any weight due to mirena it has rised n cost n i havent had many downsets n it has been a wonderful product for me

[kdesalvo11]

ive also experienced irregular bowel movements (weird i know, but i was regular before getting on birth control, but im not now), my stomach always hurts, i always get cramps on the left side, sharp stabbing pain, that last seems like forever, when i first got it put it, i also got alot of yeast infections and bacterial infections,its okay now, but i have to be extremely careful, cant just have spare the moment sex, have to make sure we are both clean showered

ive had my mirena for 5 years now, im actually having it removed 2 weeks from 2day, im kinda of nervous but excited to have my normal body back, umm, my side effects are hair loss(shedding ALOT) , acne!!! OMG ACNE!! weight gain(about 15 lbs) no matter how much i work out or diet i cant seem to keep weight off, irritable, moody, depression,paranoid, cramping, i didnt get a period for about 3 years but for the last two years ive been getting my period on and off, maybe about 2 times a month, umm,

[MsLulu111]

@tastyscorpio25 I did talk to a gyn but I rly didn't think I would be the one who right away doesn't get her period. No I haven't seen one since I need to the week after my period but its not here yet just spoting. :(
