Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually before attaining menopause some amount of irregularity in periods is common.
As you are having mirena, the spotting etc. could be side effects of that.
Usually amenorrhea will develop due to the local action of the mirena.
You continue regular visits, possibly your symptoms will subside soon.
Meanwhile you can take symptomatic treatment.
Take care.
