33yr old female, mirena (levonorgestrel) iud, 5yrs in feb, cycle has come on twice in one week apart and is heavy. should i be concerned?

Need checked: I am assuming it will be due for removal in Feb 2016. If it was 5 years this last Feb it is no longer active and that could be the issue with bleeding. It could be infection causing the bleeding and you probably need a string check with it. Schedule a follow up this week.
