Does Having Sex Post Expiry Of Mirena Cause Pregnancy?
It Mirena expired in October of this year. I have an appointment to have it removed Jan 5th however recently I ve experienced pregnancy symptoms such as; car sickness, emotional, tender breasts and not I ve noticed colostrum is in them. It is very are to get it out however. I was wondering if I should be concerned about being pregnant. I m married and have sex on a regular basis. Thank you for your help.
Hi, Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Mirena is a type of long-acting, reversible birth control called a hormonalintrauterine device (IUD). After its expiry, fertility and menstruation is generally regained immediately. It may take a couple of months more for few individuals. In case you, since you are having certain symptoms suggestive of pregnancy as well as you have indicated to be sexually active, you need to check weather you are pregnant or not by getting a urine pregnancy test done. Depending on the result, kindly consult Gynecologist for appropriate evaluation and management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
