My cycle has been shorter every month since feb it's gone from 29 to 26 to 25. i had an iud for 1.5 years and got it out in jan. should i be worried?

Probably not: A Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud (i'm presuming) contains a hormone to thin out the lining of the uterus which can lead to lighter or no periods while it is in place. It may take up to six months after iud removal for menstrual periods to become more regular and settle back into a baseline cycle length.
