Brief Answer:
Yes madam you should be concerned

Detailed Answer:
When mirena iud is used,its normal to have spotting as described by you above.It usually settles down.
And now you say you have heavy bleeding.This may be due to infection.

Advice- please visit the Gynecologist (pref. who's placed this mirena IUD) or any nearby gynecologist for a thorough check-up and further management accordingly.

Feel free to ask further in case of any queries.

Wish you good health
