A member asked:
I have had the marina iud for 8 months and just reciently got my first period, its very light but has lasted a week and a half, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This type of bleeding is not uncommon with the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud. It should be temporary. If it persists for another week, i would get checked.
