Probably the mirena (levonorgestrel): The Mirena (levonorgestrel) can cause irregular bleeding in some patients. It isn't supposed to do that, but for some patients it will. Sometimes it can be stopped by using a short course of supplemental estrogen gel or cream, but if it doesn't go away, you may need to decide if the benefits of the Mirena (levonorgestrel) outweight the nuisance of the constant, irregular bleeding.
