A member asked:

Had mirena coil fitted march 2017 now having period/bleeding for the first time since. coil still in place smear ok no change in meds, weight, health, pain or stress what could be causing period/bleeding after 2 and half years? is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mirena IUD ?'s: "Two and one half years" without bleeding may be due to both the Mirena (contains progestins which can inhibit ovulation) and/or long cycles w/o ovulation, allowing thickening of the endometrium which can break down secondary to irregular estrogen production. See your gyn physician for an exam and testing to be certain.
