I’m off to the gynaecologist tomorrow but just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.
About 4 months ago I had my mirena changed, old one taken out, new one put in. I hadn’t had sex for a while before this procedure as I separated from my husband at the beginning of the year. Now about a month ago I started seeing a man, he’s well endowed but nothing out of the ordinary really.
Every time we have had intercourse I have had bleeding. First time I thought maybe it was because it had been a while and he was on the large size but it’s happened every time since. I went to my gp who did a full sti check and a smear and everything came back normal. I also had a smear when I had the mirena changed and it was clear.
Anyone have any experience with post coital bleeding. I’m hoping to get answers tomorrow but my mind is racing.

The mirena might be sitting low and he might be “knocking” it when you are having sex. It’s probably not a great option when he’s well endowed. Can you consider a different contraceptive?
I have had the mirena in for nearly a year now and this still happens to me occasionally. I think its going to depend on the type of blood? Is it red and fresh like you've been torn or is more like period blood if that makes sense? Even before the mirena if I hadnt had sex for awhile I would bleed. It almost seemed like a hormone thing??
Just an update, went and saw the gyno, had a quick exam and thankfully it’s nothing serious. I have a cervical etropion, which, from what I understand, is the lining of the cervix grows outside of the cervix and the blood is just this lining being dislodged. It’s not serious and should fix itself in a couple of months. Happy days, still slightly annoying that we have extra clean up after sex and my new fella is a little wary of getting down there because of the blood (totally understandable) but good thing is I know I don’t have any sti’s and my Pap smears were all clear!!
