The actual thing and not the newsgroup ........
Just curious to see if this could be "normal" .. details (not too graphic but still not to savoury) follow. I have had the marina IUD for just over a year now and have had AF twice (dunno if the lack of AF is mirena related or bf related though). Starting at about 9-10 mo pp, I got 2 weeks of spotting and then nothing until this past weekend. First signs (seen in retrospect) ... 1. decreased milk production for the past 2 weeks (that happened every month with K when AF came back at 4 mo pp and I didn't have the mirena), its back to normal now 2. weight gain of 0.5 kg 2 days before (Saturday ...which just happened to be WW weigh-in day which is back to normal now. 3. .... and the thing I'm wondering about.... before I realised that I was getting AF, I spent Sunday night with mild stomach cramps and thought I had gastro as I vomited a couple of times .... but it did occur to me that It felt more like a morning sickness spew rather than a gastro spew IYKWIM. I felt fine on Monday but took it easy .... then I noticed the spotting around lunch time and it all started making sense.... Nobody else in the house has come down with vomiting .....so .... I'm thinking that the vomiting was to do with AF.... Does that sound right? Anybody else get nauseous / vomit with AF? Amanda -- DD 15th August 2002 1 tiny angel Nov 2003 DS 20th August 2004 |

Since #2 I've been much more sensitive to progesterone and have nausea every month about 3 days before my period starts. It's one reason I'm not on hormonal birth control anymore, and it's also why I didn't believe I was pregnant the last two times until after the +ve HPT - the nausea just didn't go away. On the plus side though it means I know when to buy tampons etc, and it also never gets worse than that mild hungover-type nausea. Cheryl |

Does that sound right?
Anybody else get nauseous / vomit with AF? Ever since DD's birth, I've noticed nausea before AF. It does feel like morning sickness, but I've never got to the point of throwing up. If that happened, I'd be a little concerned. If it was me, and I was spotting _and_ throwing up, I'd be seriously concerned, especially if it didn't go away. But then I don't have an IUD. Isn't the mirena hormonal as well? If that's the case, then shouldn't you not get a proper menstrual period, just breakthrough bleeding as with the pill? If the mirena should stop you getting a proper AF - and I don't know if it does - I'm picking one of these as responsible, in order of likelihood: 1. Food poisoning or other gastro bug 2. IUD not protecting you from getting a proper AF as it should and least likely but not impossible, 3. IUD faliure... -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

I've never had an IUD, but it's not unusual for me to have cramping and
nausea they day before AF. I rarely puke, but it has happened before, so I'd say it was within the range of normalacy. eggs. |

The mirena can differ between women, but typically AF is lighter, and has been known to go away altogether, so I think its fine. The vomiting was to do with the onset of AF ... I'm almost certain now after reading a few other stories. I felt fine before and after like with morning sickenss (with me anyway) rather than the awful headache and lethargy that go with gastro. thanks Amanda -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

Didn't know you posted there. JennP. Actually I now post to two ngs abbreviated as AF ... aus.families is my new "home" though ... I think you might be thinking of alt.fashion which I don't post to (although I'm pleased to say that I've had a bit of a fashion overhaul since losing a little bit of weight and getting a new hairstyle Amanda |

I suspect the spew was the result of AF.... nobody else got sick and there was no suspect food to cause it. A |
