A member asked:

Pregnant with mirena (levonorgestrel) and i get it removed will it hurt the baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you get pregnant and their is an iud in place, if the iud strings can be seen, then the current recommendation is that it be removed. It is associated with a small increased risk of miscarriage, but this is not as risky as leaving it in place.
