when I had mine put in I bleed for about 3 weeks then it went away but I
still spotted. then I didn't have a period for 3 months and just went
through a spot of where I had it for 2 weeks. I hope things are better for
you then they are for me, I'm having mine taken out on the 8th because I
just can't stand it anymore. I've had mine since the end of September.

So, I had the thing put in 10 days ago. I'm still bleeding (ranging from
what
I'd call heavy spotting to moderately heavy period-type bleeding.), and
some
intermittent cramping. The gyn said I could expect to spot for a few
days.
(And the Mirena brochure said I could spot for a few months ...)

How long did you all bleed afterwards? The thing is, I've been having
bleeding
problems anyway (and she said it would probably be a few months before
the IUD
corrected that), so it's hard to know if this is from the insertion, or
just
the same old stuff. (Though [sorry if it's TMI....], the type of bleeding
I'm
having seems different from my usual spotting -- both heavier and
clottier.
