Have Mirena IUD Placed. Had Sex. Having Abdominal Cramps, Frequent Urination, Nauseous. Pregnant?
1.do you still ovulate when you have the Mirena IUD placed?
2.how long after having intercourse on the Mirena and the pull out method, would a pregnancy test be accurately have the correct results?
I only recently had intercourse on 6/27, 6/28, & 6/30, but since then i have noticed several mornings where i have been extremely nausea, one morning with vomiting, some slight lower abdominal pains, frequency urination, that foods that i did not like 2 weeks ago are suddenly are good, and even though i might be nausea's i still want something to eat, and that I have been a little more emotional than normal, and because I have started to notice these things it started me thinking, and started the concern that I wouldn't have any clue on if I could or am possible pregnant because i have no clue of when I would be ovulating, or if/when I could possible be pregnant. and i have no clue on what to do or how to figure this out.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
Failure rate in Mirena I U D is only 0.2%, if properly inserted by a qualified person.
Now, it is not possible to say that you are pregnant or not.
If you have any doubt that then please get in home pregnancy test .
However the symptoms , which , you mentioned in your query relates to pregnancy.
1 You can ovulate in spite of I U D insertion.
2 Usually one week after intercourse you can get pregnancy test and its results are correct.
Good luck.
Dr. HET

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
1. Yes, you still ovulate with the Mirena IUD in place
2. If you conceived, a urine test will turn positive about 2-3 weeks later
While no birth control is 100% effective, the Mirena IUD is extremely effective. These symptoms are likely related to your cycle, but a pregnancy test is indicated now and again in 2-3 weeks.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
