A member asked:
Does mirena (levonorgestrel) cause uterine thinning after removal..if so is that why i had a miscarriage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud has Progesterone in it which can cause uterine thinning when it's in place, but after removal it's effects are soon gone completely. I'm sorry about your miscarriage, it's likely due to something else, though, not the mirena (levonorgestrel).
