Brief Answer:
contraceptive cover exists

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns about possibility of getting pregnant while on mirena.

Mirena will give you contraceptive cover.

This is just a small breakthrough bleeding. Antibiotics or any other medicines wont affect it.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
