A member asked:
What are the causes of the mirena (levonorgestrel) failing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Misplacement: Initial misplacement or later displacement are the two most common reasons for failure. Mirena, (levonorgestrel) like any other contraceptive method, has a failure rate that is fortunately very small.
