I have had my iud for a year now and I havent had a period in a year. But the a few days ago I got my period. Just a real light one. I just found it strange that I havent had one for a year and then all the sudden. Has anyone else had this happen to them or do you know why?

Hi raedwards15, welcome!

You must have a Mirena, right? If you have a Mirena inserted then I think what you are experiencing is within the 'normal' range of women's experiences with it. My guess is that as your endometrium slowly grows the progestin in Mirena will stabilize it for only so long and then it begins to break down and you begin to spot or have your period. You might want to ask your doc just to keep her or him in the loop, right? Thanks for posting. Let us know what s/he says, ok?

Good luck,
