The mirena IUD is not meant to take away your period although it can. Therefore having a period while using the mirena IUD is not uncommon.
However, the mirena IUD expires after 5 years of use and needs to be removed after that time. Since you are approaching that time I suggest you pay close attention to any negative symptoms related to your cycle. This could be an indication that it should be removed.
