Spotting everyday now.
Sorry TMI but I literally have No One to talk to or ask about stuff like this. Im 44 and I was told I had (endometriosis) so I got a (Mirena IUD) inputted ending of April 2025. I also want to mention that I had the Mirena IUD along time ago for a 5 year period before this one then took it out to do a (Tubal Ligation) which was in 2016. The beginning of 2025 I started to have a ton of Perimenopause symptoms like (frozen shoulder, itchy ears,joint pain, getting my periods and missing my periods along with brain fog, crazy exhaustion during the day , irritability and so much more) I was then put on estrogen patches (September 2025 )which thank goodness that has seemed to help most of my symptoms for the most part. But I’ve been spotting still ever since my mirena was put in. I knew about the 3-6 months normalization time for when things mellow out. At first I got regular periods 1x a month for 7 days for the first 2/3 months then it got lighter and October I finally thought it was done. But since November I’ve been spotting pretty much every day with small clots and some cramping as if I’m going to get a period. It’s been absolutely frustrating. I’m waiting for whatever this is to finally stop but instead I have it allll the time. Should I just remove the IUD and just deal with the once a month heavy periods again. I hate all of this.
