Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sometimes hormonal methods of birth control can result in a delay in return of periods up to 3-6 months. From your query it seems that this response is a bit out of date. I hope your periods have returned by now. I would suggest having the device removed - now that it has expired, it is not likely to provide any birth control or benefit that was attended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
