"i just went to my doctor and had my second mirena put in. the last five years of having mirena has been good. i still had my periods, but very light and only lasting a few days. my sex life was great and i didn&#039;t get pregnant. also, i&#039;m 32 and have two kids. i decided because mirena works for me to keep on continuing it. the removal of the old one and placement of the new one was a little painful, but after an hour i felt great. i&#039;m looking forward to the next five years."
