 Hello,
The Mirena is approved for five years and maintains its effective rate throughout that time, regardless of your sexual patterns. I assume you know how to check to see if it is in place. That would be the only real concern. About 7 in 1000 women become pregnant in five years while using this method of contraception. If you have doubts, see your health care provider.
Best wishes
