Hello!

I had my mirena removed 5/6 weeks ago and I don’t have my period yet. We are using another form of protection, but I just wanted whether it was normal, and how long other mums waited for their periods to come back?

  • What I understand it can take up to 3 months after the IUD removal for your normal menstrual cycle (period) to return.


  • Unfortunately everyone is different but the dr usually says it can take 6-12months for periods to become more “normal” though that depends on your hormones. Best to go to the drs and ask


  • For me it was the following month – my friend fell pregnant the same mth she had hers removed


  • Everyone’s different, I was 6 weeks, but have heard of less time and also more time. Have a chat with your Dr, or even a chemist, they should be able to ease your concerns


  • It can vary from woman to woman and I’ve heard of it taking months for some


  • That something you may need to see your gp about. Even Google may have some answers or people that have experienced this


  • it can be normal. some periods don’t return for around 6 /8 weeks


  • there are some good comments here


  • maybe ask a doctor, or read up on it


  • It varies with every woman. Generally they say around 1 month but I know women that have started af a few days after having it removed and some as last as 2 years later. Breastfeeding plays a big part in it also.


  • Try to google it or seek professional advice


  • Interesting to note different times for most


  • Wow – such a range of different times!


  • Amazing the difference in answers, a little worrying if you want to fall pregnant.


  • everyones body is different, i didnt bleed for 3 years.


  • It’s very individual, I went nearly seven years without a period after a depo shot, all was normal but it took my doctor to convince me! Go and find an understanding GP and have a chat!


  • It would vary with the individual, ask your Doc if you are worried.


  • 1 would definitely go get it looked at just to be sure


  • From what I’ve heard it can vary greatly – but definitely have a chat to your GP if your worried.


  • The Mirena coil can leave you with hormones in your body after it has been removed. Different women take longer to flush them out, so their period may not return as readily. If you really are worried, best to go to your Dr who prescribed it.
