A member asked:
Since getting mirena (levonorgestrel) 3months ago, started having heavy period from yesterday. can gp use external ultrasound to see if mirena (levonorgestrel) is still in place?

Sure : You can also feel in your vagina to see if you feel the string. If you feel the string coming out of your cervix that you know your iud is in place.
