I have had Mirena since July and it is now February. I think I may be having a period now. It is not too heavy but enough to where I am thinking of putting a tampon in. Is this common or should I go to the dr? I had a period for a month after I had it put in and nothing since til now. Any ideas?

Mirena may shorten, lighten or even eliminate your periods—after one year of use, there may be up to a 90% reduction in menstrual bleeding, and 20% of Mirena users had no bleeding or spotting at all. Having some bleeding is common, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. I haven't had a period yet on Mirena, but I am still breastfeeding. You can still use tampons, too. If you are too concerned, you can call your doctor, but I don't think you have any reason to right now.

I think that is pretty common. I wouldn't worry to much. I have Mirena and have only had one period since getting it. I have had it for 7 months.
