Vaginal Bleeding, Birth Control MIRENA, Vaginal Bleeding, Cramping

Vaginal bleeding and birth control Okay so I recieved The MIRENA as my birth control, on Aug 3rd , 2011. I had stopped recieving my menstrual by october 2 nd. Now for the last week i ve had unexpected vaginal bleeding. First it was light pink barely noticeable. Then it got heavier. Lasted about 5 days and stopped so I thought it was my period . After having sex it started again. And then stopped. But this morning I woke up to blood soaked clothes and really bad cramping. What can this mean ?? Please help.

Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.There can be several reasons for your bleeding and likely causes are cervical dysplasia,cervical polyps,cervical cancer,cervical ectropian or cervical erosions,uterine polyps,vaginal yeast infection etc.Whatever is the cause,the symptoms shouldn't be ignored.you must consult your doctor. your history suggests that you may be suffering from cervical erosions but anyways unless and until you are examined by your GYNEC,nothing can be diagnosed.Thanks and good luck.
