Will the merena iud help with my bleeding from a depo-provera shot that i got before the merena iud?

Maybe: The big problem with Depo-Provera is irregular bleeding. Mirena (levonorgestrel) should thin the lining of your uterus down fairly quickly and so should resolve the bleeding pretty quickly too - your obgyn can also add some extra Progesterone orally if you having heavy bleeding. Check with your obgyn. Good luck!
