A member asked:
I have the mirena (levonorgestrel) coil and been on my period for 3 days, the blood looks brown( and not alot of bleeding ) is the colour normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is the color of old blood and is normal. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) contains a progesterone like compound and constantly tells your uterine lining not to grow, to get mature. For this reason periods are much shorter and lighter and frequently just consist of dark black or brown spotting occasionally.
