Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Mirena is a hormone releasing intrauterine contraceptive device.
Your scanty menses appears to be due to effect of Mirena.
It may take a few months to resolve. Similarly, Complete fertility may take some time return.
Wait for 3-4 cycles, by that time it should gradually normalize. If you do not get proper bleeding even after that, consult a gynecologist.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks for using HCM. Take care.
