I had a Mirena coil fitted last week (11 days ago) as part of my HRT. Sorry I have lots of questions. I have had intermittent bleeding, some days none or small amount of spotting other days light bleeding mainly when wiping. I know this is normal and can take a few months to settle. I was due my period this week - it is normally fairly regular if anything it has been starting earlier rather than later. I have been feeling like I am on my period but bleeding remains very light. How do I know if it’s my period or bleeding from the coil settling? Or is there no real way of knowing. If this is my period I will be happy as normally heavy and painful.
I am still getting some cramping normally later on in the day but not particularly painful just noticeable is this is normal or again could this is related to my period. I tried finding the strings but couldn’t reach them I will have another try at some point is this something others have found hard to find or should I be worried.
