A member asked:
I have mirena (levonorgestrel) and i usually only have a period for 3 days i have had mirena (levonorgestrel) for 2 years and i started my period 12 days ago and i'm still bleeding why?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible reasons...: The hormone present in the Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD is released locally into the uterus and to the ovaries. That is one of the reasons it works well, it is not counting on being circulated to the entire body to be effective. This kind of bleeding does not sound normal. Could the IUD have become displaced? Have you taken another medication that may be interfering with the hormone in the Mirena (levonorgestrel). See your doctor

See below: There are a number of reasons for an unusual cycle or abnormal bleeding. Multiple factors can affect the normal hormonal control of your cycle, including emotional stress and rapid change in weight, severe illness, thyroid problems etc. etc.**A visit to your gynecologist is needed to be sure nothing more serious is causing your bleeding.
