I have had no children and I am 39 years old. I have always had spotty periods and recently I started bleeding and passing large clots. I was hospitalized for 6 days and they did nothing as I was out of town at a small hospital. I recently went to my gyno after bleeding for 19 days straight (an I mean like a river) and he has suggested the Mirena. he gave me birth control to stop bleeding but had to take me off because I have a history of blood clots and PE's and immedately the bleeding and cramping and clotting strtaed again. I am worried and not sure if i should have this done because of the horror stories I have been reading. I am scared and do not know wht to do. Does anyone have any advice for me??
I have the mirena but I got for birth control. I wish I could offer you some advice but I do love it. It seems like you might have another problem though. Maybe try a second opinion. Could be a cyst that needs to be removed.
I love mine too, I'm on my second. A close friend of mine doesn't have children and had hers put in about a year ago due to similar issues and she really likes hers too. She has had no problems and is happy to have virtually non-existent periods!
I have the Mirena and love it. I got it after my son was born. Have had it for 2 years now. My periods were light/spotty in the beginning....now I get nothing or very little and just once in a while. The day I got it I was very crampy, but by the next day- nothing, and I have no side effects. I highly recommend it.
I have Mirena and love it! My periods mostly stopped after a few months. I know some people have had bad experiences, but after four kids mine is a lifesaver
First off stop going to all those doctors and hospital and start going to the source of your devine life. God is the answer to your situation read John 15 if you want to bear fruit. For the worry Matthew 8:19-34 and trust God instead of man. I will also being praying for your healing. P.J. Illinois
