bleeding with mirena?

i've had mirena since my son was born, and haven't had a period since oct. 2009. every few months i'll have very slight spotting, but nothing ever heavy enough for a liner. a few weeks ago, i had spotting, but it was more than usual. then, today i started some fairly heavy bleeding (no more than what my periods were though). i have no cramping, and no other symptoms at all.

anyone know if this is normal? should i be taking a preg test, or seeing my gyno, or just wait it out?

thanks

    Your cycle is always going to be different in some way. I had Mirena for just under a year and I had no period up until the month before I got it taken out. Everything was normal, but my body just decided to flip and have a period again.

    The Mirena is know for causing no period or causing a heavier period.

    Don't worry, it's probably nothing, but if you're really concerned I would see your OB/GYN.

    Good luck!
