Why have I started having constant spotting with the Mirena after a year?

I had the Mirena placed at my 6-week post partum checkup in July of 2017.. the day I had it placed my period started and was extremely heavy.. after that first month my period was very light but regular, coming every 28 days and lasting 3-4 days, light enough to just use a panty-liner.. I had my Annual exam in July of 2018 and about a week later I started spotting heavier and having some clots and it’s lasted ever since without a break(currently going on about 2 months)... I haven’t really had any other abnormal symptoms... I’m having trouble getting into my OB because of my insurance but I have an appointment with my primary dr next week, hopefully they’ll be able to refer my to my OB.

Oh ya, that's not good.  It's never healthy to have that kind of bleeding for that long.  It's been a week now, did you make it into your primary yet?  What did they say?
