hello,
welcome to HCM,
i appreciate your concern,
mirena may cause low abdominal pain and muscle sprain.it may also cause bleeding.
but pregnancy is rare because of very low failure rate.
you should confirm it by pregnancy test.
you can take mefenamic acid for the pain.
also consult your gynaecologist if you want to remove it and switch to other contraceptivve method.
hope this is helpful.
