Is there a health risk if i have the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud (that may be floating in my uterus), but get the depro prevera shot just to be safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you ahve an IUD n: Not in the right place it should be removed , you can get the Depo-Provera shot the day you get it removed or sometimes, depending, it could be adjusted using hysteroscopy in office please see your gyn.
