A member asked:

Had my mirena (levonorgestrel) removed [5years] they day it was removed and had sex with no protection could i be or get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD works by interfering with a fertilized egg's ability to implant inside the uterus and since it isn't there you can get pregnant.
