A member asked:

I had sex the day before my mirena (levonorgestrel) was removed, which is about the same time i was ovulating, what are the chances of pregnancy?

Specializes in Gynecology

Low: The mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD suppresses ovulation because it secretes progesterone. That is how it works to prevent pregnancy. Your chances of ovulating the day before the removal is low
