Q: i have been on the mirena for 9 months now and for at least the last 3 weeks i have been on and off spotting but it's only when i go to the bathroom and i am little worried?

: This is an annoyance but is not unusual with Mirena, especially in the first year. Eventually you will probably not have any bleeding.
