Re: i HATE the IUD!!!

yes some people do get clotting. i didnt have clotting when it first came out- though i did with my period, 6 weeks later, but then again i was clotting big time before mirena went in anyway - I wouldnt worry too much at this stage, as its still very early days and some people bleed/clot for a few days, even a couple of weeks afterwards - it all depends on how quickly your hormones are able to get back to normal. sounds like yours are making a valiant effort at sorting themselves out:) just keep taking it easy as you have been doing. the uterus is bound to be a bit inflamed too, after having a nasty piece of plastic floating around in there and knocking into things - give it a bit more time. Do consider taking extra iron supplements though, as you can become anaemic really quickly and it takes a long time for the body to get back to normal once the iron levels are depleted. Nice warm(not too hot) baths will be soothing for your body too - if you dont have a bath, then a long warm shower is nearly as good:).
Apart from the clotting, how do you feel in yourself? let me know how you are tomorrow, so we can keep an eye on the situation:)xx Tweet
