Best Answer

If started within the first seven days of menstrual bleeding, no back up method is needed - it's immediately effective. If started at any other time in the menstrual cycle, use a back up method for seven days. If you're switching from the shot, implant, or a birth control pill, continue the hormonal Birth Control method for seven days if you're not in the first five days of menstrual bleeding. If you're starting on the day of an in-clinic suction abortion, no backup is needed.

While Mirena is highly effective it is possible to become pregnant. However, it is also very common for women with Mirena to miss periods and this can become relatively common especially after 6 months to 1 year of use. If you have not had your period in 6 weeks (so about 2 weeks late) please call your doctor and tell them you would like a pregnancy test. If you find you are not pregnant ask your doctor if you can take home tests in the future when this happens or if you should call.
