A member asked:

I have had a mirena (levonorgestrel) iud for about 3 yrs nosw and today i started bleeding more then then the spotting i normally get?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mirena (levonorgestrel): This type of IUD has progesterone in it. Most women do not have periods or get irregular bleeding. What you are describing is a normal effect. If this continues or becomes too bothersome see the doctor who places your Mirena (levonorgestrel).
