A member asked:

I have had the mirena (levonorgestrel) for 5 years now and i still do, i had sex and the guy cummed in me, then i bled after and does my mirena (levonorgestrel) still work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) is approved for use upto 5 years. It may still work but it may not be as effective. I recommend that you see your GYN for a new IUD and a pregnancy test at the same time to continue your protection. Best Wishes. Dr M.
