Mirena Coil. Period Suddenly stopped

7 replies

Hi , another Mirena themed question (there seem to be a lot here!)
I had my coil fitted end of November and in December I had about 10 days of spotting / period. Next month the same , maybe even slightly longer spotting / bleeding , closer to 2 weeks. This month there's been nothing. I'm around 7 days late. I've done two pregnancy tests and both negative.
I know the coil can stop periods but I didn't expect it to be that sudden after 2 months of lots of bleeding to nothing at all? Does anyone think this is normal? I checked at the weekend and strings are still there.
I googled a lot and someone said somewhere on the internet that the hormones from the mirena could give a false negative pregnancy test so that is worrying me a bit!

I had 1 bleed after fitting and then no periods for 5years apart from occasional spotting

Omg am crossing fingers for no more periods then! Ive just had my first period after first coil fitting

I'm only second coil, had them fitted for more than 6 years now. I can count the number of periods I've had in that six years on one hand, and even then they've just been spotting. Welcome to a new period free world! Grin

Yep, none here. Mirena number 3 - slight bleeding for a while after fitting then no more. Happy days!

I had one bleed (5 days heavy, a few light/spotting 2 weeks total and nothing since. Paranoid I'm pregnant but at my age it would be a miracle anyway. Am planning on taking a trip to the friendly nurse if nothing after another week just to reassure myself it's in place and I'm not pregnant!

Hey I was wondering if you had any advice at all? I’m in a similar situation I’ve had a mirena now for 6 months but all of a sudden my period is now around a week late. I have all the symptoms such as bad skin, slight cramping and mood swings but no bleeding?? Last month my period was on time and normal and I was just wondering is it possible for your period to just suddenly stop like that?? Terrified I’m pregnant!!
