A member asked:

I am on my last year of having the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud and i have been having pregnancy symptoms. how can i tell if i am really pregnant or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take a test: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud is very effective, but pregnancy is still a remote possibility. You need to take a pregnancy test and repeat the test in 2 weeks.
