Question
Hello, my wife has a hormonal IUD (Mirena), which causes her menstrual cycle to appear as very light bleeding, appearing as a few spots. Should this be considered as a menstrual cycle or as spots? If so, when is the time of the menstrual cycle considered?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
In such a situation, spots that continue for several days are considered a menstrual cycle.
The beginning of the spots should be considered as the day of the menstrual cycle.
