To be expected: The hormone in the Mirena (levonorgestrel) suppresses shedding of the endometrium--and after a year, many women cease having their menses altogether. You may expect to be quite irregular for many months, but eventually you will return to your natural menstrual pattern prior to the Mirena (levonorgestrel). You may consult with an Ob/Gyn if you need some hormonal help to reestablish regular periods.
