moppet 19 Posted June 19, 2016 Hi all. Sleeved 2 months ago & I have had my period pretty much every day since. It's insanity! When can I expect this to regulate? Friends are suggesting I get an IUD. Who has one please & any feedback would be really appreciated. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted June 19, 2016 @@moppet I have an IUD but it is copper and doesn't have hormones. My periods were irregular for a while but they have balanced out (I hope)as my weight loss has slowed. I have never had irregular periods and any kind of lady problems so it has been pretty annoying. I would probably just let my body run its course because getting a hormonal IUD is just adding more hormones to a body flooded with hormones, but just call your Gyno and make an appointment. They are going to give you the best advice, not us and not your friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted June 19, 2016 2 years ago I got the mirena IUD and sadly bled/spotted non stop for the first 3 months. After my surgery my cycle was for 3 weeks (I started the day of my surgery). At 3 months out I was regulated again. I'm 5 months out now and it's like clock work with no issues. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theantichick 2,204 Posted June 20, 2016 I have had Mirena for over 9 years (I'm on my 2nd one). I love it. 2-3 periods total in those 9 years (and those were just light spotting), and decreased Migraines. Not everyone has a good experience with it, and I can't say the insertion and removal/insertion were any fun. But I have found it to be WELL worth it.

daniotra 298 Posted June 20, 2016 A hormonal IUD -may- cause your periods to lessen, but then again, it might not. Talk to your OB/GYN about options. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winkie80 147 Posted June 28, 2016 I have a merena IUD and it's the second time I have had one. I bled for the first 4 months both times. Now I get a period once a month. The first time they went away all together. I think everyone's body reacts different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allsmilez 13 Posted June 28, 2016 I have mirena. This is my third one. I didn't bleed at all with the first one and had light spotting with 2nd and current one. Have a new one seated hurts like hell but still worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
