A member asked:
Is it possible that the mirena (levonorgestrel) cause engorged sensations in breasts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mirena contains levonorgestrel, a birth control hormone. Small levels of it are absorbed, and I have had people with pms symptoms, acne, oily skin, and progestins cause breast budding. The numbers are small but it could happen.
