IUD + Period

Caitlin

I’ve had an IUD (Mirena) for roughly a year with no periods or spotting. About a month ago, I got my period again but it doesn’t really look like one. It’s thick, brown and doesn’t smell. Has anyone else experienced this?

Is it normal to get a full on period with an IUD inserted?
