I got mirena about 7 months ago. My doc said if I wanted another child before the five years when it has to be removed I could have it removed at any time. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Mirena is effective for 5 years. It can be removed at any time, and a woman will generally find herself fertile again within a month after removal.
