A member asked:
I have the mirena, (levonorgestrel) & i haven't had a period in a few months & i suddenly have bright red/orange bleeding? i've never had this color of blood, is it norm
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena (levonorgestrel) bleeding: Irregular bleeding is an almost universal side effect the 1st few weeks after Mirena (levonorgestrel) insertion. After that periods tend to lighten with 25% having no periods by 12 months. Irregular bleeding can be annoying but it does not mean that the method is not working. This side effect is very typical of Progesterone only birth control methods.
