Irregular bleeding and Mirena?
First and Foremost, yes, I am going to call the doctor concerning this issue.
I got my Mirena IUC inserted back in August of 2008. I had the usual bleeding, which stopped around late October. I have not had a period, nor have I bled at all, since November.
The past couple of weeks or so, I have bled daily. I would describe it as a very light flow, similar to what you would have on day 5 of your period. I also have mild cramps. I have pain on the right/left sides of my body which feels like the pain you get when ovulating.
There is very little chance of Ectopic pregnancy. I had surgery on my ankle December 1st, and the hospital made me take a pregnancy test, which was negative. I have not had sex since before my ankle surgery.
Has anyone else had this issue? What might be the cause?
And again, yes, I do plan on calling the doctor.

I had the mirena for the full 5 years around my 4th year I had the bleeding. It was very light and I was cramping. The cramps proceeded to get worse and worse. They put me through the pregnancy test and ultrasound. What was happening to me was my body was starting to reject the mirena. It could be a number of things. But that was my experience with it.
