I had my mirena iud removed about a month ago. I had no type of bleeding whatsoever after removal nor did I have a period last month. Exactly the 1st of this month I started spotting, the next day I started bleeding extremely heavy. Before I only had to change my tampon couple of time throughout the day now I'm having to change it at least every 1 1/2-2 hours and its completely soaked and pretty close to bleeding down my legs? Its not a regular period blood,its very bright red and very thin almost watery. Please help with advice!?

If you are changing a tampon every hour or two you need to seek immediate medical attention. Also, stop wearing tampons until this is resolved.

You must visit gynocologist asap.

I was told by someone who had the same issue to wait till morning just in case its just an irregular period? Not quiet sure what to do?

I'm a nurse in both labor and delivery as well as the ER. Our vaginal bleeding instructions include to get immediate medical attention if you are soaking a pad/tampon every 1-2 hours. Another of our instructions is to stop wearing tampons.

Now, you can take the advice of friends or take the advice of a medical professional. The choice is yours.

Also I keep getting the chills, shakes,bad headache all day today,and some cramping here and there where I have to bear down?

Please go to the ER. The chills, shakes, and headaches are signs that you are losing too much blood and starting to go into shock.
