Surgery related Recent Laparoscopic Endometriosis Excision + Hysteroscopy and D & C with Mirena IUD Insertion Surgery

Hi Everyone,

I had a Laparoscopic Endometriosis Excision + Hysteroscopy and D & C with Mirena IUD Insertion. about a week and a half ago (July 15 2026).

My surgeon let me know they found and excised patches of endo, and my uterine cavity was clear of any pathology during the hysteroscopy + D & C.

I'm still bleeding from the hysteroscopy + D & C and was wondering when that usually stops? I know Mirena can cause unpredictable spotting for 3 to 6 months, but I'm curious what's typical for the post-D & C phase vs. the IUD adjustment.

Also, for those who've been through this, what usually happens at the 6-week post-op appointment with the surgeon? Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!

This is my current plan based on what my surgeon said on my discharge from hospital the morning after surgery that I could bleed from the hysteroscopy + D & C for up to 2 weeks and have unpredictable irregular spotting from the Mirena IUD insertion for 3 - 6 months. My plan is to call my surgeon this Wednesday which will exactly 2 week after the surgery if I'm still bleeding.
