abnormal uterine bleeding
"I had mirena inserted Sept 23 2015. I have given birth full term 7 times, and the discomfort for me was definitely comparative! I wanted mirena so I could have sex without worrying about another pregnancy, but due to bleeding heavily for 3 out of every 4 weeks (to date it is now January 1, 2016) I have not even had sex because of the mess! I even have some spotting during the "week off"!!
I always had regular periods with 7 days of heavy bleeding, I'll be happy to go back to that. I haven't gained weight from it, but I fluctuate about 5-8 lbs from week to week. My hair was already thinning, but that seems worse, the texture of my hair is more fragile."
