A member asked:

Could it harm the baby if you are pregnant and are on mirena (levonorgestrel)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you have an iud and become pregnant it is important to see an obgyn and have an ultrasound. If the iud can be easily removed, it should be. The iud can cause problems with the pregnancy there for if it remains in the risks will be higher, an maternal fetal medicine comanagement should be considered.
