Is Brown Discharge And Cramping Normal After Mirena Insertion?
Had the Mirena IUD placed in approx 2 weeks ago. I started my period a day after insertion because I had discontinued the pill that week also. For the past 12 days My period has been ongoing. For the past 5 days, it is lighter, and mostly brown. Also have been having on and off cramping since insertion(which was almost unbearably painful for the first day). Wondering how much of this light(enough to fill a regular tampon a day) brown discharge and cramping is normal and if I should go back to see my gyno or wait it out?

Hi
As you had a period as soon as you got inserted Mirena so you might have had both menstrual pain and device pain it takes some time to get adjusted so wait for 4-5 days till you finish your period and see If it has reduced
