A member asked:
Would there ever be a scenario where a mirena (levonorgestrel) user would also need to double up with an oral contraceptive? is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if Mirena (levonorgestrel) lost: You would need the alternative contraceptive only if the Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD was expelled/lost or was expired.
