May not be it...: Mirena (levonorgestrel) only is proven to last 5 years as far as contraception. So, first be sure you're not pregnant, but i would expect you would begin cycling first.. Even is Mirena (levonorgestrel) is wearing off, you should see your doc to check for other causes, as long as your diet and activity are steady..
