A member asked:

Mirena (levonorgestrel) removed- 4 day period 2days later. then 2days of heavy bleeding 9days after 1st period. was this another per or a side effect? or implantation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormone effect: Removing the IUD causes changes in the hormones in the uterus, so it's not uncommon to have irregular bleeding after it is removed. Chances are minimal that you are pregnant. Your cycles should straighten out over the next month or two.
