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.
