Q: ive spotted for only two days on the hormonal mirena iud. its expired. ive had irregular periods throughout for quite some time but i just want to figure out what might be the cause of it?

: Irregular periods with the Mirena IUD are very common in the first 6 months of use. However, usually when you have had the IUD for about 6 months, then the more typical pattern is no period at all.
