Question 1

have skyla iud. was given xulane (in addition to iud) to stop menstrual bleeding. second week on patch and i'm bleeding. thoughts? normal?

Accepted Answer

Follow the plan: since patches have a distinct regulation mode to get your body to behave as it should.  Some irregular bleeding may occur in the beginning of the patch in the first few months.  So keep the faith and follow the plan.  If it doesn't work for you because of your irregularity or whatnot, you will know after 3-4 months.  And if you have already waited that long, then visit your GYN or family physician

Question 2

is progestin for 10 days a month or the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud better for heavy menstrual bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Mirena (levonorgestrel): While there aren't any good head to head studies comparing each method, my patients have much better results with Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud.  The Progesterone in it is slowly released the whole month and is more targeted to the uterus than taking 10 days of progestin pills.  Also, there is a new amazing medicine called Lysteda (tranexamic acid) that is not a hormone and is very effective.  Ask your doc about it!

Question 3

Exam and ultrasound: It is important to be examined by your physician. In addition, this physician may want to order a pelvic ultrasound to visualize pelvic structures including your uterus.

Need more info: Are you on contraception?  Which ?  What medications are you taking?  Are you under a lot of stress right now? Have you been traveling , changing time zones or not sleeping enough?

Question 7

how long does it take to stop bleeding after an iud removal?

Up to 3 months: A copper iud might take up to 3 months because it causes a lot of inflammation. A Progesterone iud should be shorter because the hormone is removed and the lining is shed off sooner.
