I have had my Mirena for 11 months now, my last period was March 2015 and I use 3 pumps of Estrogel plus Vagifem every night.
I spotted every day for 4.5 months, that then stopped but I still get the odd spot...more of a stain really every now and again and it lasts less than a day and I don't need any liners or pads.
I am confused  is that safe to leave or should I see doctor?

I had constant spotting with a Mirena it can do this.

Surely if you don't need liners or pads it doesn't really count as spotting! Anything that does I would get checked out even though it is common for Mirena. Bleeding after 6 months I think, needs checking?

Hi Tinkerbell,
I've also had my mirena for 10 months i still seem to have periods although they are very light, i often have 4 days of bleeding then can spot for a good couple of weeks after. I had a bleed 2 weeks ago and today I'm cramping and spotting again. I did go back to the GP and got sent for a scan, I'm going for the results on Wednesday. I'm almost hoping it has moved and there's a reason for all the bleeding otherwise i don't know whether to have it removed, i keep telling myself at least i don't have the heavy bleeding that i use to have but the continuous spotting and cramping does get me down😔

I've had my mirena for approx 18 months and get smears of blood on loo roll pretty much constantly.  Perhaps 7-10 days each month when there is none. 

It will occasionally be heavier than that but only for a few days.  I know when that's going to happen as my nipples feel very sensitive and breasts feel fuller.

I'm 50, peri and don't take additional oestrogen.
