What Causes Irregular Vaginal Bleeding Post Mirena Removal?
Question: I got off the mirena on 4/11 and got what i thought was my period on 4/30 but today im bleeding again lightly and my period isnt due for 18 days. Is this normal
Brief Answer:
yes this is normal in the first month after removal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
How were your period cycles before Mirena insertion? Once Mirena is removed your menstrual cycles follow the previous original pattern (that was there before Mirena insertion).
Some women do experience irregular bleeding in the first 1-2 months and this is normal. It usually settles. But if the irregular bleeding persists after 2 months, you need to consult your doctor to find out if there is any other cause for such bleeding.
I hope this helps.
If you have any further queries, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.

Hi,
Welcome back.
Since you were on Mirena for a very short period, your periods should settle down in a months time. If the irregularity persists in XXXXXXX also, then you need to consult your doctor.
