A member asked:
I am on the mirena, (levonorgestrel) and i just removed my tampon and the coil has come out with it? its that ok or any side effects? do i need to see the doc?

See your doctor: Mirena (levonorgestrel) doesn't really have a coil like the copper t380 iud. However, the tampon may have dislodged the iud. Ultrasound should be able to tell. Remember that you probably aren't birth control protected right now.
