A member asked:

And if the mirena (levonorgestrel) did fall out what would i expect? and how long for the hormones to come out of my system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below...: If the Mirena (levonorgestrel) fell out, there is no delay to resumption of your cycles. When you got your first period would depend on where you are in your cycle. Even with the iud in place, there are almost no hormones measurable in your blood stream.
