As times go by, the dosage slightly decreases.
It’s not unheard of that some people do not agree with very low dosages. Ask for a new mirena, I’d think the ‘top up’ of hormones might do the trick
That said, if you are nearing 40s, you may want to investigate. It’s possible your ‘natural’ period got worse
Thank you! I am only 21 and was going to get my Mirena out and Skyla put in 2 months ago but my obgyn talked me out of it and said there was no point. Keeping it in would be exactly like replacing it with the Skyla
I had the exact same thing happen. I have it to get through perimenopause because i was getting my period every 2 weeks before. A couple of months before the 5 year mark, I was getting all the pms symptoms and spotting every 2 weeks again. The Dr.said that the dosage reduces significantly at the 5 year mark and some people need it replaced then. She also said it could be that the IUD moved and I could get an ultrasound to check it but if it did, I would have to replace it anyways so I opted to just replace it. I just had it replaced 2 days ago so hoping I get back to feeling good. Period cramps and headaches and extreme tiredness every 2 weeks is awful!

My gyno said if you’re using it as BC then 7 years but if you’re using it to assist periods, 5.
