Bleeding on marina coil!

[Kallie92]

Hey everyone back story I had the marina coil fitted last June while still breastfeeding my daughter was brilliant until I stopped hadn’t had a period while breastfeeding so when I stopped I got one but it’s been pretty constant since, had scan all normal and cervix checked all normal? Due to get it out on 8th October but it’s runining everything! Anyone been in same situ please help!!!

When you say last June do you mean 3 months ago, or 15 months ago?

Last June

Sounds like it’s still settling and probably disrupted by change in hormones from stopping breastfeeding.

I had mine fitted last December, bled consistently until May and have been on the mini pill too since then to settle it (which only really settled in August and I have still had a period)

So if you mean 3 months ago, it’s still settling and can bleed for around 6 months.

@DustyLee123 no it’s been a year but was perfect for first 6 months until I stopped breastfeeding and then I got a bleed which I understand is normal and then been pretty constant since.

thanks @Clementine22 i think it probably is but health anxiety is very hightened and just can’t be bothered with the bleeding anymore

I bled / spotted for over a year (14 months) - every woman is different.

Now I have some spotting for a few days every 4 weeks and the other 3 weeks I would describe as light brown staining.

Everything has been checked out - ultrasound, cervix, etc.

I should also point out that I am using Mirena as part of my HRT and I am well over 50.

Perhaps Mirena just isn't for you at this stage.

I bled on the mirena so changed to mini pill - bad idea as was still constant and much heavier. Currently waiting for a copper coil, I don't see the point in taking hormones when they make things worse
