Mirena Changes Discharge?

I have had Mirena for about 2 months now. At first I was kinda spotting on it, and had really sore breasts in the morning. Both of those have seemed to clear up for the most part but my discharge has gone from bloody to a combination of blood and normal discharge, to just brown to dark brown. Any idea of when this will clear up? Is it normal? Everything I can find on the internet says its either right before or after a period but this has been going on for a while and no period, or its pregnacy. I don't think I am pregnant, guess I haven't actually taken a pregnancy test. It's been about 2 months since I last had sex and it was with a condom. Ya, got the IUD and haven't had sex since. Anything else this could be? Or just normal with the IUD stopping your period. I have been on other forms of progestrone only birth control that stoped by period but never had brown discharge like this, except right before a period.

If you have really slow spotting, like a very slow leak, you would see brown spotting.

Thanks! So far I am not cycling which I expected, even on the mini-pill I didn't really cycle. I am just hoping it returns to normal. It seems like its been at least a week since I have seen anything that resembles blood, so hopefully the brown will clear up here soon as well.
