7 months on Mirena Irregular Bleeding

Kristina
Hi ladies! I'm in love with the idea of my iud but must admit it's been a bumpy ride. I use <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">eve</a> to track my periods, and after the first few months of constant bleeding, they pretty much came on time as <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">eve</a> predicted. Some would be very light and pink/brown, and some would be rather heavy and bright red, lasting about a week. My strings also move around a lot throughout the month (really long at times, almost missing at others).
Just passed the 7 month mark and I'm suddenly bleeding mid cycle. It's felt and looked like a real period for about 4 days now. Quite heavy and bright red. 
Do I flip out and have my doctor remove it or just recognize this is a part of the process. I can feel my strings right now.
