What Causes Irregular Menstruation Post A Mirena IUD Insertion?

I have had a merana IUD for approximately 2 years. I experienced the normal irregular period. After insertion, I bleed for 3-4 months. Now my periods (though light) last 10-15 days and occasionally I only have 2-3 days in between periods. It has been this way since insertion. It seems to be getting worse and not better. I have contacted my doctor's office a couple of times and have seen the NP in the office. I was reassured for the first 6 months this is normal. I now have another appointment but it is 4 weeks away. Should I be concerned?
