"this summer - july of 2015 - will be exactly 5th year as i&#039;ve had my mirena. i had it inserted 3 months after having my 2nd child and it took no more than 10 min for my dr to do it. 
i loved having mirena for 5 years as i didn&#039;t have to worry about birth control at all! 
the only minus is that for first year or two i had irregular bleeding or to be correct spotting.  it wasn&#039;t really a period but every couple of weeks i&#039;d have to use slim daily pads for couple of days at a time. still, it is much much better than having regular painful periods and to worry about birth control every day. 

so, i&#039;m having my removed in a month and probably will give my uterus a rest for 2-3 month (if it&#039;s necessary i don&#039;t know... maybe not) and get another one."
