I have the Mirena IUD. It was inserted early Nov./2005. I spotted for almost 3 months, lightly. This was still better than the very heavy periods I have had most of my life. I'm 49 years old.
The insertion was no big deal I did premedicate with 3 Motrin before I left for the office.

My periods are lighter and controllable(not sure if that's a word), but I'm having thyroid issues that have made the cycles more frequent then I'd like.

I just got a Merina IUD about a week and a half ago. It was the first day of my cycle and the doctor told me it would be best to insert it that day. Now my period seems it will never stop. I know it's only been a week and a half but how long does this last? I've read things like 3 mos, 6 mos....I don't think I can handle that while trying to do Cardio every day.

By the way, Hi. I'm new on this page.

Married, 3 little girls (12, 10, and 9). I'm 32 years old. Finally decided to lose weight. I gained 40 lbs a few years back when I was sent overseas away from my family. It's time to reverse the clock. Been on Low Carb (Atkins, I guess) for about a month and a half. Loving it...I'm not hungry very often and have found so many things to cook low carb. I love watching 'Blaine's Low Carb Cooking' and 'Low Carb and Lovin it. My husband it a weight lifter so the veges and protein work for him too.

I have the cooper one (10 years). I had it inserted in March 2006 after my daughters birth. I spotted had some heavy periods, irregular periods and a heavy flow but now I love it. My old insurance paid for everything, my only payment was a $10 co-pay. My DH and I have spontaneous sex, no worrying about forgetting pills..I love it!
