A member asked:

2nd period on mirena, (levonorgestrel) 5 th day, no flow but when i wipe i notice tiny pieces of skin or tissue, is it a reason for concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There may bee some abnormal bleeding the first few months with a. Mirena (levonorgestrel). The hormones in the IUD are conflicting with your hormones as they effect the lining of the uterus. Over time, most women report minimal or no monthly bleeding with this IUD.
