Weird spotting after Mirena IUD?

Question

Hi guys, I got the Mirena IUD around the beginning of April and had a really bad flow for the few weeks which was expected! 
However, these past few weeks the spotting hasn’t stopped and it’s turned a weird brown color. It’s been a few weeks of this weird discharge and I’m not sure what it is? Can someone help? Thanks!

Answer

Brown can mean old blood. Spotting is, sadly, completely normal with an IUD. It takes forever for your body to get properly used to it, but once it is the IUD works pretty great! 
It could also be an indication of an STD tho. No need to stress out straight away, especially because it started after getting the IUD so it's probably just that, but if you recently had sex with someone new it can't hurt to get that check just to be sure!

Answer

I got my IUD in February and I haven’t had any spotting at all but when I have my period it’s the brown color. My doctor did tell me and emphasized to me that I could have irregular bleeding like you’re describing for up to 6 months. I haven’t though. I’ve been pretty lucky in that department. I just get extreme brutal cramps.
