Period ... Sorry if TMI

[Dlh04655 3]

I need some help everyone. I had my daughters two years ago and ever since then I have had the Mirena. I have not had a period in a year and a half. I am 12 days post op and I have a period. I read through my stuff from the doctor and don't see it mentioned anywhere. Anyone experience this before?

I've had a Mirena for 5 years now. I never had a period either. After surgery (5/31 GSV) I started spotting for a few days, but haven't had a full period. This happened for 2 months, & I'm waiting to see if July will bring another unwanted visitor. Lol!

I don't have the Mirena, but I've experienced similar things with my Nexplanon (arm implant). I had it put in early February and have not had a period (or spotting) from insertion date to surgery date. The night after my surgery I started this weird half-period thing. I spotted, but not enough to wear anything, it was just there when I peed or wiped. That lasted about 4-5 days and hasn't come back since.

Thanks ladies it's about 4 days now. Sounds like it's pretty normal.

I have Implanon and never had my period for years.. 2 days after surgery aunt flow came for a nasty heavy visit for about 5 days..I guess our bodies just get a shock and respond.

Yes!! I have the birth control implant, and although I got my period two days prior to surgery ???? it was the heaviest my period has ever been!

So strange! I thought it might have something to do with the heparin shots I received during my hospital stay??

They say when it rains it pours right?! ???? lol

I was told that this drastically changes your hormones all of a sudden with so many changes and things and so everything can be changed after surgery. I would still ask your surgeon.
