I have had the Mirena IUD for about 18 months now. In April of this year, I had my yearly exam & told me OB about bleeding I had been having on and off. She prescribed Doxycycline antibiotic which I took for a week. The bleeding stopped & I didn't have any problems until about a week ago when I started spotting again. This week I now have heavier bleeding with cramps on the left side as well as in my lower back, near my left hip. The cramps aren't terribly severe but they are bad enough that I am getting worried. The bleeding isn't heavy but is bright red and constant. How concerned should I be about this? Am I doomed to have problems with the Mirena or is this just temporary?
