Mirena Concern

Hi,

I am 31 years old with a 7 year old and a 3 month old. On June 26th, I got the IUD Mirena placed. I had a little spotting and some cramping. Then on June 30th, I checked for the threads, then on July 2nd I started spotting and on July 6-7th I bleed like a normal period. It is now August 2nd.. I have bleed light to medium all month. I did call my healthcare provider and they said if I bleed after 4 weeks to give them a call. I googled this question and it sent me to webmd. After reading 100+ comments and experiences with this IUD they all census that after 8+ months that they have bled the entire time. I'm just concerned that I will be doing the same. Yesterday I did not bleed at all! Then this morning I was checking the thread and 20 minutes later I was bleeding again!! For the last 2 hours I have had lite cramping too. I am planning on calling my doctor's tomorrow. I guess the whole reason I am posting this is for some help and talking too, maybe just to vent. I'm trying not to cry while typing. I feel alone with this and I don't know what to do. I tell my husband.. he responds ok. Literally that's all he said was "ok". I told him I'm scared he says. "i'm sorry". no hug no comfort.. because it's my women stuff. I live 4 hours away from my doctors so I can just go see him. I'm home all day long with my babies and it's really wearing on me having my 'period' for the last 33 days! I'm always tired, not from the fact that my 3 month old wakes up at 1:30am every day and then again at 430am. I can handle that. I think having this bleeding and breastfeeding (which I LOVE doing) is making my body so worn down. I don't know what to do anymore. Hell my husband hasn't touched me ever since 'I' not 'we' got pregnant. Sorry I guess I am more upset than I realized. The Mirena website is not helpful what so ever. It's the same information to the T on all their publications. Ugh... I don't know, I just don't know anymore.
