A member asked:
Had mirena iud replaced 1/10/18. cycle came on the beginning of february, should i be experiencing heavy bleeding? should i see my pcp?

Common: Some irregular bleeding occurs for about 2-5 weeks after Mirena insertion. The low dose of Progesterone causes the endometrial lining to thin. This triggers some shedding of the lining. Overtime this is what leads to light or absent periods with Mirena. If you are experiencing heavy bleeding consider seeing a doctor to evaluate this.
