A member asked:

I got an iud and am having irregular discharge and bleeding. i have a special evening planned, is there anyway i can temporarily get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sorta: This discharge maybe, maybe not based on what is causing it. If the bleeding is from mirena (levonorgestrel) use or skyla use your physician can give a few days of oral progesterone to start a couple days before your special day and that might help resolve it. Some docs might advise estrogen for the same effect.
