A member asked:

I had the mirena (levonorgestrel) put in me a few months ago and now i lightly bleed everyday and some times experience light cramping, is this abnormal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: It is common to have some irregular bleeding during the first few months of Mirena (levonorgestrel). If it continues much longer, you should be evaluated by a gynecologist for the possible addition of a short course of estrogen or possibly consider another method of contraception.
