Patience : It may take a while for your menstrual cycle to return to normal. I would monitor this and then report to your doctor if your cycles do not regulate over the next few months. If you do not desire pregnancy consider birth control to regulate your cycles now.

Hello, I had mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD removed 3 days ago. I am now spotting bright red blood. Is this spotting, period, or removal bleeding? We are TTC.
