Pregnancy Info HOME

I had my baby a little over 7 months ago at the end of November and had mirena put in at my 6 week check up at the end of January. I was on my period on and off, (mostly on) up until about a month and a half ago. So now it has been almost 6 months I've had the Mirena and I have had spotting here and there, but for the most part I don't have a period. I am starting to wonder also if the symptoms we are all having (because I have them too....tired, frequent urination some months, and the metallic taste in my mouth) If these are just side effects. It seems like this month the symptoms are more severe and I've been kind of wishy washy and more sensitive than usual. I guess the only thing to do is go to the doctor to ease our minds. I start to feel so tense and anxious when I get the symptoms because I obviously got the Mirena so I wouldn't get pregnant. And I don't want to go buy a pregnancy test everytime these things happen. So maybe it's not a bad idea to go to the doctor every 6 months or so to get them to check and make sure the Mirena is in place and everything. That's what I'm going to do, but I'm really glad other women are having the same problem as me. Mirena is great as far as not having a period and not (supposed to) having to worry, but it is scary when you don't have a period simply because it makes me doubt the Mirena, even though it works.
