A member asked:
I have the merina iud for almost 2years and suspect that i might be pregnant. the dettol method shows a positive. how accurate is this method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just take a test: The Dettol method involves mixing your urine in household bleach. It would be much easier and much more accurate to simply take a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. If you are pregnant then you need to see a doctor to make sure it is not an ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancies with Mirena (levonorgestrel) are quite rare but when they do occur the risk of tubal pregnancy is 25%
