So of course, this is going to be too much info probably.
But anyway, anyone with an IUD (or perhaps without?) had mid-cycle spotting?? I had my period a couple of weeks ago... it came early (I think - I'm terrible with these things!) and it finished about a week ago. Yesterday I was spotting again and am definitely not due for period. Should I see a doc? Keep freaking out? Or try and resume life as normal and wait to see what happens? Arghhhhhhhhhhhh. |

Can't they cause spotting for up to around the first 6mos? -------------  |

haha nikki, i dont think you should pretend its not happening - isnt that a bit like what happened with hannah???
that doesnt sound normal for an iud, so i would maybe ring your doctor and ask to speak to a nurse about it, she would tell you if you should go see the doc or if it is common. ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

haha I did consider that... especially I was feeling sooo sick over the weekend but it seems to have gone away so I think it was possibly some sort of bug I picked up and then nerves making me feel horrible.
I've had the IUD for 4.5 months now and my cycles have been roughly 28 days... but I'm never really regular. I just still suffer from paranoia even though the IUD has a really low failure rate!! I can't help it. I was meant to have the (very late) follow up appointment for the IUD last week but couldn't go and now I can't get another appt. Freaking popular FPA. |

| I don't think thats normal for a regular iud, I would ring the nurse where you got it put in and ask. It could just be that you were going to have a bit heavier period and some got stuck and then came out later? I duno lol |

It can be common to get the odd light spotting in the first few months. If it isn't all that light I would be calling the dr to see them tomorrow just to get checked out. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yeah, now I am not feeling so sick I'm not too worried. I think Tobin is feeling ill now so I can definitely write that off as a symptom! haha
I think I'll go back to what I do best and ignore it

Yes! Sticking your head in the sand until its gone away is in my experience a very effective way of dealing with things. I use it alllll the time 
Its probably different with the Mirena but I had irregular spotting for the first 3 months and then some light spotting occasionally up until 6 months. (often after sex, which I worried about and then ignored) I say if you're otherwise well ignore it until your next period is due and see what that is like. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
