No: Do a pregnancy test. Although Mirena (levonorgestrel) is a very reliable form of birth control failures do occur . If you are not pregnant it has nothing to do with the iud and you need to see a doctor.

No: Your first immediate steps are to call your doctor and get a pregnancy test. You need to make sure that you are not pregnant, and especially that you don't have an ectopic pregnancy. Your cramping should then get evaluated by your doctor immediately. Good luck and call your doctor right away!
