Can you get pregnant if a Mirena IUD is not removed after 5 years?
Unlike other IUDs, Mirena releases a low dose of intrauterine Levonorgestrel to suppress ovulation and to reduce menstrual flow - like all drugs it has an expiration date.The Mirena website does not state the dose decreases;it simply states the IUD must come out in 5 years. It also says a new Mirena IUD can be placed the same day the old one is removed. When Mirena stops releasing levonorgestrel - which suppresses ovulation - it is still a foreign object in your uterus. If you were to get pregnant, the Mirena would need to be removed.If you were to conceive with any IUD you would be at high risk for a severe infection, miscarriage and premature delivery unless the IUD was removed. Because of this, your health-care provider will remove Mirena, even though removing it may cause a miscarriage.
