Bleeding with Mirena

Almost two months ago I had Mirena inserted.  I researched alot and found that alot of people loved it and I loved the idea of have a lite period.  Well my period started on Dec 1.  It was my first period since I had it inserted and it was right on time, no early and not late.  Well I have not stopped bleeding.  It doesn't bother me that much but I was just wondering if anyone else had experiecnced this and how long did it last?  Also my fiance is very large and during intercourse I can feel a sharp pain that I was not experiencing during the few weeks of having Mirena.  I was scared that he may have knocked it out of place but less than two weeks ago I had it checked by my OB and she said it is perfect.  And that I should not worrying.  Can someone please make me feel better about this.

I too wish I had visited this site before I had Mirena placed.  I had it placed on Sept. 17.  I bled for 17 days straight in October. I bled for 27 days straight in November.  I have been bleeding for 12 days (and still counting) in December.  This is SOOOO frustrating.  Yeah, Mirena IS so effective only because you aren't having sex due to non-stop bleeding!!!!!!  I'm going to give it a few more months and if the bleeding hasn't changed, I'm getting it REMOVED!!!

Ive had the mirena for about 5 years now, all was fine and dandy until the last couple years. I've had CONSTANT discharge, to the point that I have to wear a panty-liner every second of my life and now for the last 3 weeks I've been bleeding. Not sure whats goin on but Im convinced its from the Mirena. ANd no its nots not an infection, thats what I thought so I made an appt with my gyno and was on an antibiotic and nothing changed. He said it was normal.

I saw your comment and was wondering if all went back to normal. I am considering getting mine removed. I have bleeding every couple of weeks and painful cramps. I cannot loose the baby weight. Exercise and diet and nothing.

I wish I would have found this forum before I decided to get the Mirena.  I had mine inserted on 9/19, 8 weeks after having my second child.  The insertion was painless but I think that's because the doctor gave me a numbing injection before the process.  A few days after insertion, I started bleeding and I haven't stopped bleeding since.  This is the third week and I am SOOOOOO over it.  I was going to wait it out, but after reading about all these women who've been bleeding for 2 months, 5 months, 9 months! I don't think I'm going to wait any longer to have this crap removed.  I'd rather remember to take a pill everyday instead of having to deal with random spotting and bleeding that can occur any time.  That's just not cool.
