A member asked:
I got a mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted mid-jul '15. my next period started on oct 19th and even though it is lighter, i'm still bleeding! is there something wrong?

Mirena (levonorgestrel): Like all progesterone contraceptives abnormal bleeding is a side effect. This could be bleeding every day or no bleeding at all or anything in between. What you described could be entirely normal.
