Hello,

The spotting is expected while on Mirena. If you do not have any concerning symptoms like pain, then there is no need to follow up with ObGyn at this point.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
