Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Your expired: Mirena (levonorgestrel) can stay up to five years and then needs to be removed. Yours expired 6 months ago so removal at this time is indicated. Normally one does not need to remove it until they want to get pregnant. Pregnancies have been seen as early as 7 days after removal.
