I am a 30yo mum of 6. I had MIRENA inserted in February 2007 and experienced mild cramping etc after insertion and very minimal bleeding.
I was having 1 or 2 days of slight spotting every 3months and no side effects.
Until the last 2 days.....
I have had nasty cramps and my first "real" period in over two years.
My question, would it be so heavy (and dark) because it is old blood?
(This may also suggest why I have been even more cranky and just feeling yuk!)
Is it possible it needs to be changed?
