Have Mirena. Spotting, Back Pain, Stomach Cramps. Is This Okay?

Hi,
I'm 24 years old and got the mirena almost 2 years ago. I haven't really had a period since it was placed. I've ben spotting for a few days. Last night I had miserable back pain and stomach cramping that woke me up. Then tonight I went to the bathroom and my underwear was soaked in dark blood and I wiped at least 3 quarter sized black looking blood clots...just wondering if this is ok...

Hi dear user; bLeeding and pain in your situation can be either a side effect of Mirena OR it may be because of displacement of MIRENA from its place within or outside the uterine cavity.

In my opinion you should go for a ultrasonographic scan (USG) to check the positioning of MIRENA in the uterine cavity.
