“Mirena IUD”
I got my IUD 5 years ago. It’s a Mirena. I heard they are now good for 8 years. Does that mean mine is good for 8 years? Thanks!

Hello. It is indeed important that you know the side effects of having Mirena and how long it is effective. Since it's already been 5 years I'd recommend a consult regarding yours,

No. Your IUD is good for 5 years
