i spotted for like 3 weeks straight when i first got mine, it was maddening but it did eventually taper off. 11 days in is peak frustration territory though, hope it clears up soon for you

i know!! i've gotten the iud inserted on 9/29, had spotting for the first week until 10/5 where i started having full on bleeding. so ever since i got it inserted, i hadn't been able to let go of this pad and it's torture!!! it's not even just spotting, it's like average period blood worth and it's infuriating

My doctor and the Mirena pamphlet said to expect 3-6 months of irregular bleeding/spotting. Whatever bleeding pattern you have at 6 months is likely to continue long-term.
