Schedule an appt: Bleeding with Mirena (levonorgestrel) can be irregular with up to 50% having no period at all. Occasional periods are normal. I would schedule a nonurgent follow up visit to check the strings and make sure the iud is still in good position.

Mirena (levonorgestrel) bleeding: If the bleeding has stopped i would make your gyn aware of this episode. You may want to schedule an appt. Sometimes the cervical mucosa can become more friable w certain hormones, and after intercourse (penis can run into and disprupt the cervix), you may bleed more than just spotting. But if it's heavy bleeding, you should see your doctor to be sure.
