A member asked:

I have mirena (levonorgestrel) for 14 mos now, been lightly bleeding for 5 weeks now. should i see dr or is it ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely ok: Irregular bleeding can be a side effect of mirena (levonorgestrel). If your feeling fine you are likely ok. However there are uncommon problems that could also do this. Safest thing is to get checked.
