Default Mirena Girls - How Do You Know When To Get It Changed?

hi

as you may know, Ive had my Mirena 2 and a half years. These last few months, my periods are getting longer - 10 / 12 days. The pain is stronger (not as bad as 3 years ago), but still more that when I first had my Mirena. And heavier (again not as bad as a few years back).

My question is - in your experience do you think I need to get my Mirena changed? Or is this a co-insidence? The earliest appointment I could get with my gp was 20 July.

Any answers would be great. Thanks

eva

Have you started any new or different medications the same last few months? Mirena (or any progestin-only birth control) does not always (or even often) stop ovulation, thus it may not truly regulate you or shorten AF like bcp--especially if you're on drugs that mess w/ AF like spiro, etc. You might make an appointment to do U/S & make sure it's still where it needs to be and hasn't perforated anything. Then, if your doc feels it's time for a new one, he can do that too.

hi guinea pig,
thanks for the info. I am on Spiro right now, so that might have something to do with it......... am seeing my dr near the end of the month.
