A member asked:
Can your body reject the mirena iud after years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extrude not "reject": As long as the Mirena IUD is in place and has not expired past its' time limit, it will continue its "job" of preventing conception. However, any IUD can be extruded out of the uterus by significant contractions at which time it may no longer be effective.
