IUD and bleeding
avatar
smilexcutie posted:
I had an IUD inserted 3 weeks ago. I have been bleeding for 10 days now. While this is MUCH lighter than my normal period, it still heavier than just spotting. I am in a wedding tomorrow and wearing a tight, light colored dress - I still have progestin BC pills from before I had the Mirena inserted.

Is it safe to 'double up' tonight on the Progestin pill as if I missed a pill and then take one each day for the next few days to at least delay the bleeding?

If not, is there anything else that I can try to make the bleeding stop?
