You : You can wait to see your doctor, but in the meantime definitely use condoms for protection from pregnancy. Your doctor can perform a pelvic exam and possibly an ultrasound to be sure your Mirena (levonorgestrel) is still in place. You are right, the Mirena (levonorgestrel) can be expelled, and though this is rare it can definitely happen.
