A member asked:
I have had the mirena for 5 years now and have always had a period approx every 2 months but haven't in 5?

This is expected: Irregular infrequent bleeding is a well known effect of the Mirena IUD. Many women with the Mirena IUD eventually achieve amenorrhea, or no periods while they have the device in place. As always, if you have any concerns, see you doctor for evaluation.
