So sorry: I'm so sorry you're going through this. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) doesn't cause extended infertility, only the depot Provera shot does. So infertility is due to something else. 33% of time it's female, 33% it's male and 33% it's unexplained. If it's been a year, see a doctor and you and your partner can get a work up for infertility. Don't blame yourself... It could be him, or it could be nobody's fault.

Seek REI care.: Take Folic Acid 1 mg daily and see a reputable reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist in your area. Avoid smoking, alcohol/drugs, maintain a healthy weight for your height, engage in unprotected vaginal intercourse around your ovulation date (check with over the counter predictor kits) and best of luck!
