Question Re Mirena IUD/Bleeding

This is my first time posting on this board so I hope that I do this right. I had the Mirena IUD fitted in December after the birth of my 4 child. I expierenced irregular bleeding for about 3 months and in March I no longer had a period or bleeding. However, I have just started a "period" last week which seemed "typical" if I were having them. My question is should I be concerned that I have had a period or is this normal? I had been having a lot of pregnancy symptoms over the past two weeks, but it was ruled out by a HPT and at the doctors office. To make things worse I am having a lot of pain in my ovaries. Does this mean that the IUD is not working properly???? I have never used an IUD before and this was recommended by my OBGYN since my husband and I are only in our mid twenties and did not want any type of permanet sterilization.
Thanks for any input!

I am also a first time IUD user and like you I have four children but didn't want permenant birthcontrol because I am still in my 20's. I had spotting for about two-three months after I got my IUD too. Since then I have not had a period. It has been fantastic but I am constantly worring that I am pregnant too. I was thinking maybe your pain was ovulation pain. I have also had small periods of cramping each time I tough I was starting my period and then I wouldn't. Anyways, I would give it some time and let your body get used to it.
Best of luck!!
