Got my mirena (levonorgestrel) put in 3 months ago and im still bleeding sometimes with a oderless brown discharge. no cramping is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it likely is: ~95% of Mirena (levonorgestrel) users will note a decrease in their duration and/or amount of menstrual blood flow, and many will even stop getting their period (which is normal). However, these changes can take about 3-6 months to occur. Prior to this, it is not unusual to have an increase in the amount, duration or frequency of your periods. See your dr asap if you cannot feel iud strings or bad cramps develop.
