A member asked:
What's the chance of mirena (levonorgestrel) perforating or expelling after us confirmed placement 2 wks post insertion? i'm 24, no kids.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: It is possible for the IUD to be expelled through the cervical os, though rare if it was properly placed. Perforation typically only occurs during placement, and is also quite uncommon.
