Early Noon!
ecookie,
Wow! Saw your HK trip pics via your blog. Great fun ya? *envyssss*
I am still pondering if I dare such challenge - to bring both boys on trip. Moreover I am a 'this cannot, that cannot', so I guess I better not make life difficult for myself. Haaa...
Yes, after having the Mirena inserted, it's likely to experience spotting as your body is adjusting to this 'foreign object'. Hence it needs up to 6 months (averaging 3-4mths, depending on individual) for body to get settled.
It's constant spotting (so long it's not heavy for weeks) and when it comes to menstrual period, the spotting gets heavier (though not as heavy as the previous norm menses) and BIG pads are not required. That's the thing that I find it really good!
Mine gets more or less settled after 4 mths and this is the 5th month.
Most importantly, I guess all is fine so long there is no pain (maybe due to improper positioning of Mirena) or unpleasant spotting (not suitable, body cun take it). I read about these, though this is not common and it's very rare for such condition.
Was told by my gynae that I can call him or make appointment to go back and see him if necessary.
Maruko,
Great! I din tot about the bloom shots during my pregnancies. Should have done it since I am closing production line.
U can show it to your boys when they are older.
