Can the mirena (levonorgestrel) cause break through bleeding? i wish i would have known abit more before i go it...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena (levonorgestrel): Yes, this is somewhat common. 20% of women also stop having periods altogether on Mirena (levonorgestrel). The breakthrough bleeding will probably go away. May sure to check home pregnancy tests if you miss a period
