Mirena and sudden periods

Ok, I'll try and keep this brief. Had the coil fitted nearly three years ago. Had a bit of spotting but no period. It's been fab. Decided to try for a baby. Went to get it out and the nurse saw
My strings but couldn't get them. I've been referred to the hospital to get it out. Since then I seem to be having a very
Light period every month which seems to be getting worse every time. This started around October time. I saw the nurse back in August. My appointment is in a week. Does this sound like the coils moved or disappeared??

I wouldn't take the return of periods as a sign of anything in particular. I had a mirena fitted 2 years ago bled almost constantly for 3 months and have continued to have periods ever since. I'm sure they will be able give you more information at your appointment.

Thanks @Pipnik it just seems strange that I've had nothing for all these years

It does seem strange but probably not worth the stress of second guessing what might be going on. Good luck this week.
