Mirena - bleeding after gym..

6 replies

I’ve had the mirena for a year and in reality I’ve had a discharge every day of the year but anything is better than my horrific periods. At the most now monthly I get a v light bleed, maybe the odd random clot but no flooding or heavy bleeding.

Recently I’ve got into going to the gym only 2-3 times a week, I do a full body workout but mainly strength training. I’ve exercised on and off for years so I know what I’m doing, I’ve had PTs for periods of time too.

But I’ve noticed now everytime I go to the gym I have a bright red bleed.

i don’t have sex anymore so can’t compare to if intercourse would cause it.

has anyone else had this with mirena?

If you’re having unusual bleeding you need to get checked out. I’ve got a Mirena and go to the gym, using weights, and I don’t get that.

Oh ok. I will I wonder if it’s like fibroids or something? X

I get this when I've over exerted myself, eg a faster run than normal, started a new diet, been under the weatherb etc. It seems to be when my body has been under stress. I have mentioned it to nurses as I'm on the mini pill but they just sort of dismissed it each time. I would get it checked if you can though.

It could be something as simple as cervical entropion or a polyp. Don’t worry, but get it checked

Ok I’ll get it checked…annoying cos I just get so so tense around intimate examinations
