I've had the Mirena in for just over 2 years. My periods were getting lighter and lighter every month - like normal for the Mirena. Barely enough for a pantiliner, but still enough to know I wasn't pregnant.

Since about January, they've been kinda weird. I had a period around Christmas, then like only 18 days later I had another one - or maybe, maybe not, maybe just spotting. Then it was a while before I got another one, and I got all freaked out that I was pregnant, but no. It finally showed up.

But then...just this last week - I had a very heavy period. Like a regular flow from before I was ever on the Mirena.

I checked the strings and they're still there.

I had my annual gyno exam about 3 weeks ago. Everything was normal.

Why would it suddenly be heavier? Does it mean anything? Just a fluke? (let's just say it was a good thing I wore black pants one day....been so long since I needed that much protection...)

Just curious.
