Having Unprotected Sex. On Mirena. Missed Periods. Having Brown Spotting, Cramps, Tiredness, Taste For Green Peppers. Cause?

Hi. My name is Carla. I have beem on mirena for 1 and a half years. My last period was on december 15 and I have not had one since then. I spotted for 3 days it was pink and then dark brown. Now, I have watery cm, taste for green peppers, minor cramps , and I have been tired all the time. All of this has been happening for 2 weeks. What can be causing this? I am in a monogamous relationship with my boyfriend of 3 months and we have not been using protection. Thanks.

Hello Carla,
The most common side effects of Mirena are amenorrhea, intermenstrual bleeding and spotting, abdominal/pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, headache/migraine, acne, and depressed/altered mood.

Yes it can happen any time, after insertion.
Please do ascertain, that the you are not pregnant, as the Mirena can be expelled without knowledge. So please get a USG and pregnancy test to remove any fears of a pregnancy.
