A member asked:

Can i get pregnant with a mirena (levonorgestrel) iud in if i haven't got it checked to see if its in place? breasts hurt and leaking clear stuff.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Small chance: It is important to check for iud strings every so often to be sure iud is in place. Since you don't know if it is and you're concerned about pregnancy check a pregnancy test. If the iud is in place chance of pregnancy is quite low.
