Quick Question
Quick Question
Hi there!
I have a few questions. First, I got the Mirena IUD put in about a month ago, right after my period ended. I had the Paragard removed at that time as well.
Last week, I got a yeast infection. My doctor called in a suppository and I've been using that the past 4 nights. My period is 2 days late, but I am experiencing cramps as well as breast tenderness but no bleeding. Are yeast infections known to delay your period? I have not had sex recently so that is not a concern here.
Just wondering if this is normal. Thanks!

Re: Quick Question
Welcome to Scarleteen!
Yes, the stress that illness puts on the body can delay a period. But also, the Mirena can make periods shorter and lighter, and some people may stop having periods altogether while using Mirena.

Re: Quick Question
Is it normal to skip the first one though? It's just puzzling that I've been cramping for over a week but nothing has happened.

Re: Quick Question
Again, both illness and the Mirena itself can impact periods. Buf if you are concerned, your doctor is the person to call.
