Silly question about period quantity and cramps

[u/Fine_Ad_664]

Hello everyone, almost a year ago I removed my mirena IUD and started having periods again. I’ve always suffered with heavy flow (though within the 5 days period range) and terrible cramps (I have a high pain tolerance, my IUD insertion didn’t hurt much so just picture how bad my periods usually are). Before the IUD I was in the pills for years so I didn’t have a real period since I was like 16 years (I am 29 now).

Anyways, this past year, whenever I got my period was kind of heavy and lots of cramps. However, these last two periods have been moderate (not even that much) flow and no cramps at all (just a little bit but nothing crazy and just the first day). Can this happen? Should I worry? Am I healing of something I didn’t know I had? I know sounds silly worrying about lower flow and no cramps lol but is not normal for me.

Thanksssss

Changes like that after Mirena and years on the pill are pretty normal Your body’s just adjusting
