I had mine removed after 4 years, so it may be a bit diffeent for me....
I had my first period about 3 weeks after removal. It was very light and only lasted a few days. After that my cycles went back to every 28-32 days. The only issue I had is that my PMS symptoms are about 100x worse than they were before pregnancy/Mirena. I don't know if that is because I went nearly 5 years w/o a period so I wasn't used to it or what but they were terrible and much heavier than I remember them being. After a few months they got a bit better but still seem worse than before.
