I've had mirena (levonorgestrel) for over a year now i've only had my period one time but today i started spotting is this normal?

Yes: It is a progesterone secreting IUD so it prevents ovulation and regular Cyclical hormonal Changes . So Scanty/ irregular periods are often seen, But have you asked your OB GYN this question who put this IUD. I am sure they discussed with you the possible scenario before this was inserted.
