Is Pregnancy Possible While On Mirena IUD?

Good morning! I am a 29yr old woman and have been on mirena for two years. My husband had a vasectomy at that same time. The mirena was started to help with Crohn s symptoms rather than birth control. I have had three previous pregnancies, with two live births. Is there any possibility that I could be pregnant even with the vas and IUD? I have noticed severe fatigue (fallibn asleep in inappropriate places) breast soreness, and mild constipation that started about 8 weeks ago and have gradually increased. TSH and other labs all normal. No fever or other SX. I felt this same way when pregnant with my last child. Thanks so much!

Hello,

There is absolutely no chance of pregnancy while in Mirena plus vasectomy of your husband.

You should not be worried about pregnancy. You should do a total blood count and blood levels of Iron. I think you may be suffering from iron deficiency anemia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
