Hello,
The leaking of milk (galactorrhea in medical terms) which you have is not because of the Mirena or pregnancy. Pregnancy with Mirena is not possible. You need to check your serum prolactin levels and have a breast examination first. Do consult a gynecologist as soon as possible.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
