Has anyone ever gone on the Mirena IUD birth control and never had any periods afterwards, not even spotting?

I got my IUD early April and no periods at all ever since. According to the info I was to expect spotting for several months and a decline in menstrual flow and maybe after a year, no periods at all. Just wondering if anyone else experienced zero periods after this IUD.

1. I got my Mirena IUD in April of 2005, and I have had spotting occasionally - although I don't recall exactly how soon afterwards the first "period" occurred. Typically, it's very light and I only notice it in the shower or if I happen to look at the toilet paper -- otherwise, it doesn't even stain my underwear or anything. A couple of times I've had something closer to a real period, where I'll use a "lite" tampon to protect my clothing and it lasts a little longer overall.
2. According to my knowldge, marina releases progesteron daily, so you have constant relatively high level of progesteron which prevents excessive bleeding, acoording to litrature, it takes 4 to 6 months for its peak effect. in many cases it is observed that zero period is achived cause of high progesteron level.
