A member asked:

I've got stitch like pain and bleeding/ uterus feels heavy. i've had mirena (levonorgestrel) for 8 weeks now. this pain has only been the last week, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a Provider: What you are describing is not normal. You may have an ovarian cyst or something wrong with your uterus. Your Mirena (levonorgestrel) may not be in the right position. Please see a provider for an evaluation.
