Contact Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and place a complaint that you believe your mirena is failing base on your past experience of being on Mirenas for 8 years now. Another possible reason that you are having medium periods may be because you are entering perimenopause and the hormones in your body is changing. Talk to your doctor about perimenopause and find out if you are entering perimenopause or even just the menopause stage. Dear Acadienne9,

I am assuming you mean the 5-year Mirena. I think mine has failed. I've had three medium periods in a row, after 5 years plus 3 years on 2 different Mirenas. I think the product has failed. My doctor says it is still in position, but I think the hormones have worn off, in which case I could get PREGNANT at 46. No way I'm going to let that happen!! Mrs. Collins,

It is always recommended to ask your doctor if the prescribed antibiotic affects the birth control you are on.
