Have u had ur 6 week check up yet? I was like u and my gynae put me on medication to stop bleeding. Can't remember how long I was on it for but it stopped the bleeding and afterwards was improved. I've had mine in for 7 months now. Get regular periods but very light last tho 7-10 days but light enough for liner only.
When I had my Mirena put it, it took a while to settle in. It took about 10-12wks then all the bleeding and spotting stopped pretty much overnight and has not returned at all. I was just about to make and appointment with my OB to have it removed. I do not get AF at all.
You can have the strings shortened, I was explained they will also wear down or become less noticeable.
I bled for 9 weeks after having the Mirena inserted. Think I had light periods for the next 2 or three months, then nothing at all. I usually have a very heavy flow and a long period (around nine days), so not having a period was bliss. Unfortunately, the hormones sent me loopy and I had the Mirena removed about two years after having it put in... once I figured out why I was such a fat, miserable cow!!
