I had my surgery on 8/20 and lost about 30lbs...Then I had my mirena put in on 9/27 and I have had daily spotting which then turns to bleeding for a few days before resuming to spotting and daily cramping ever since. Not to mention that I haven't lost weight either! I went down to 200lbs and then back to 202lbs and I go back and forth between those 2lbs! Its frustrating! I cant even be intimate because of this...too much worrying about the spotting...I put this in so I wouldn't have to worry!!!

Im wordering if anyone else has had this problem?

My GYN told me that I will not gain weight but...there are hormones on this thing!

Maybe I put this in too soon after surgery? Maybe this just isn't the thing for me?

Should I wait a bit and see?

Thanks

Hi! I had a heavy and painful first maybe 2 - 3 weeks. And I get a Sharp pain daily the week before. I got mine placed 6ish weeks before surgery. Give it some time and see if the bleeding and spotting stop and talk the gyno if you have concerns. I'm sure it will work for you it just needs time.

Surgery 7/25/12

My Surgeon has just suggested I do this pre op... I'd be keen to follow your progress, and anyone elses who has this. was going to get it inserted in a couple weeks (4 weeks pre op)

I have a follow up on Nov 9 I'll bring this issue up then. I hope to get good news. Maybe I am just being inpatient.

Thanks!
