A member asked:

What can help stop spotting from the mirena (levonorgestrel)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask provider: Spotting is one of the side effects of Mirena (levonorgestrel) and if persistent or worsening may signal a need for an alternative birth control method. Please talk with the provider that placed the device to see what options are appropriate for your situation.
