Cycle changes

I'm just after some advice about some recent cycle changes.
I'm 44 and have been on the coil for 18 months. It has been brilliant for me. Periods stopped immediately. Over the last 5 months or so I've had very light spotting a couple of times and then the last 2 months my boobs are tender.
I've done a pregnancy test which was negative.
Has anyone else experienced these types of changes. I'm wondering if it's worth checking in with my nurse or GP to just get my hormone levels checked & have a chat about it all.

Any unusual bleeding should be checked.

My periods have always been erratic with a mirena. I guess I'm just one of those people for whom they don't stop completely. I've had them for over 10 years now and it's been the same with each one but fortunately they're much lighter than they were beforehand.

Agree with poster above about getting it checked out though.

Thank you. It's not proper periods it's just a bit of light spotting when I wipe. It's just been a bit more regular the last couple of months. Just for a couple of days then it stops. It's more the sore boobs I've been thinking is odd as I've never had that around my period.
I'll get an appt for a chat and maybe ask them to check my hormones.
