so ive had my iud since may 2011 and i have a couple of questions to see if what i've beeen going thru is normal
first off from like the moment i had it put in i get migraines and they are HORRIBLE i have been to the dr to try to figure out why and how to fix it and nothing....i have no other choice but to deal with it
second for like the last two months i have spotted and cramped non stop...and last week i started my period but only bleed like every other day...then i stop a couple days ago and spotted and today i have just been cramping really bad all day then i just randomly started bleeding a couple hours ago..
has anyone else been thru this? i am regretting not just getting my tubes tied!!!!!!
I had the IUD for 2 years and had lots of bleeding issues.
For example sometimes I would bleed/spot for a whole month. This would be randomly. Then most other times I was bleeding every 2 weeks. It was so annoying. No other issues though, just random bleeding issues that were so annoying that caused me to remove it.
I'm on my 2nd (9 years) and I had none of the issues you are describing. Personally, if I began getting migraines when it was put in, I would have had it removed. It sounds like it may not be the BC for you. Go see your doctor...
I had the migraines. Later during the day, after it was removed, they were gone and haven't been back. I never had the period problem. I just didn't have one at all anymore.
The migraines may be from the hormones in it. I had a copper iud because hormones give me migraines. I had problems with bleeding with it for about a year. Then one day I stopped bleeding, I felt sick, Then the iud came out, all on its own. Turns out I was pregnant. I now have a healthy active 3 year old. Lol! But thats ok. Yeah iuds are not for everyone. I have heard some women who never have any problems but most have the same kind of problems you are describing. Good luck.
