A member asked:

I've had mirena (levonorgestrel) for 9 months and got my period every month then i skipped a month and now got it but its dark brown.. is there. something wrong ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Most women find their periods get lighter with the mirena (levonorgestrel), (levonorgestrel) and 20% of women will have no periods at all on the mirena (levonorgestrel). So sometimes missing a period altogether or only spotting is normal. It is also normal to vary in the amount of bleeding you have, month to month.
