I had the mirena fitted 8 months ago at the same time as hysteroscopy (so I know everything was ok then). I'm 52 and 8 years peri.

I've had  light on/off bleeding and spotting since then as well as some cramping. As far as I'm aware this is all normal as mirena reduces bleeding, but doesn't stop it in all women.

You have done the right thing to get checked out, but in all likelihood, there is nothing sinister. But of course you are bound to be anxious. Try to breathe and distract yourself. Most of all be kind to yourself. Sending best wishes

It was quite the opposite thee was an exciting thing at school today so he was over excited. He had a huge poo and then was fine! Think he was backed up 😂😂

Thank you Fusseh that’s reassuring, since I’ve had it I’ve never stopped bleeding really. The problem is it doesn’t follow a pattern but then in peri nothing does.

Fingers crossed it’s ok!

Is he usually loathe to 'go' Madge79?  What's his diet like overall, I remember veg that I woulnd't touch then would be OK with now 

[Madge79]

He doesn’t eat enough fibre so I’ve increased it for him.

Another worry to add to my list I have tested my urine after a course of antibiotics for a suspected UTI and now have protein in my pee as well as a tiny bit of blood. Bloody great!!! Must be kidney failure/cancer too!!!

Yep.  Will U choose a wicker coffin ?   


What U describe is normal for most !  Which is why GPs continue to prescribe antibiotic therapy on a dip-stick test.

The best thing after ABs is to get some LIVE Greek yoghurt - lots eaten every day.  It will soothe the digestive tract from top to bottom.  ABs strip bacteria from the system.

Some swallow kefir or similar but I can't face anything green  . 

Veg can apparently be swallowed in smoothies etc..  Or raw, my cocker would eat carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and bananas without any problems.  I find that chewing is hard work

Hi Madge, we all on here know what it is to feel so worried and frustrated. I have recently been trying to sort things out had a couple of 9mm measurements. Had a hysteroscopy recently, still waiting for biopsy result. I always have microscopic blood in urine some ladies just do. I think if you get really desperate for an ultrasound scan there are a few places you can get one reasonably priced. Hope you get some relief and reassurance soon, it’s hard being a mum and coping with all this ballyhoo ain’t it! Xxxxx
