Are Irregular Spotting While On Mirena Normal?
I ve had the mirena for six months tomorrow and after the first five weeks of usual spotting I didn t have a period for two months then last month spotted for 14 days and this months not a lot of blood just pink when I wipe myself after going to the toilet... Just wondering if this is normal as my nurse said after my six week check I probably wouldn t have a period... It just seems to be going on and on..
