Not likely : If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy.

Probably not: The number one side effect of Mirena (levonorgestrel) is irregular and unpredictable bleeding. For some women it starts right after the device is placed in the uterus. For others it starts weeks, months, or years later. It would be wise to see your doctor for an exam and possibly an ultrasound to evaluate for other problems or causes. Mirena (levonorgestrel) is associated with a decrease in the mood (depression), see your doctor.
