Not all women cease to menstruate after being fitted with the Mirena nor is there a set time frame as to when you will see changes to your cycle, if any. Actually only 20% of women stop getting their periods so if your doctor told/promised you otherwise, he/she misinformed you. Those that don't stop menstruating, may simply see that it lasts less days and/or it's lighter and other women will simply continue to menstruate with no changes whatsoever. Not everyone reacts exactly the same to the Mirena.

As to the strings, if they're bothersome, you can have them trimmed; contact your doctor.

I have it...I think I am getting mine taking out....I have all the side effects that go along with it...had for 1year and almost 3 months. I have a cyst on my ovary too which is painful and prolly from this. You will stop bleeding as much...I bleed for like 3 months after inserted...I love not having to remember it, but to much pain....I hope it works for you!! You should deff. call your DR. about the string and see what he says....AGAIN I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU!!!
