On mirena (levonorgestrel) iud for 2 years. got removed 2/4/15 - when should i expect my period to return? i didn't have it the whole time with iud.

A bit hard to tell: The hormone in Mirena (levonorgestrel) was responsible for stopping your periods for the past 2 years while preventing you from getting pregnant. Most healthy women will experience some vaginal bleeding and/or resume their usual menstrual cycles within 2 to 3 months after. A few may take longer. Be safe though. Consult your gynecologist regarding ways to tell when/if you have started ovulating normally again too.
