Can you take Depo-Provera if you're on Mirena?

Mirena is more effective than Depo Provera, and is associated with less irregular bleeding. It lasts longer, does not depend on a woman returning to the office every twelve weeks, and has a quicker return to fertility after stopping than Depo Provera. Some women can't use the IUD due to unusual uterine anatomy, and for them, Depo may be a better option. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.


What if you dont take your Mirena out after 5yrs?

It just ceases to work (although I understand that there is actually enough Levonorgestrol in it to last 7 years).It just isn't active anymore. It's recommended that the plastic piece be taken before another year has passed. After 5 years, you can get pregnant. SThe effectiveness of Mirena IUD is related to the low dose of hormones - once you hit five years, you are no longer getting an effective dose of hormones to prevent ovulation and conception.This may leave you at a slightly higher risk of ectopic pregnancy so the Mirena should be removed as soon as possible. It can be replaced on the same day the old one is removed.If you no longer have an OB/GYN doctor, you can go to any Planned Parenthood office.
