Hi everyone! I would appreciate any experiences or insight anyone can give here because I’m a bit worried. Sorry if the word mirena autocorrects because it seems to want to be anything except the right word. Also sorry for the TMI/descriptions if it’s too much.
I had a mirena coil fitted after my child was born so about 18 months ago. I hadn’t had a period since before pregnancy and I am still breastfeeding.
After the coil was fitted, everything was fine and I havn’t had any bleeding or periods…
Until yesterday when I noticed pink blood when I wipe, in my discharge. Not enough to go into the toilet. There have also been a few small clots of pink/white tissue when wiping, about 1cm long and about the width of a piece of spaghetti. I also feel a little itchy/irritated down there.
I obviously don’t have a cycle because of the coil so I can’t say if it’s a period. The internet says that you shouldn’t get any bleeding after the initial insertion on and off like this. I have done a pregnancy test which was negative.
Has this happened to anyone else? I would hate to bother the doctor on Monday and they say ‘it’s probably a period’ or something else silly.
I’m also worried because I had a lletz procedure in 2022, my next smear came back fine but still worried about my cervix.
Thanks in advance!
