Or any other IUD?
-
My mom got pregnant with an IUD (not mirena, this was 15 years ago) and had it removed and miscarried, or miscarried and had or removed? I'm not sure.
-
I do not know anyone that did, and I do know quite a few people who use Mirena.
I do know people who got pregnant on the pill and from using the pull out method though!
@duckduckkristen: I think the IUDs of our parents' generation were a whole different thing-- not as effective, a lot more side effects... at least, that's what I hear and what my Dr said.
-
I know two mirena babies.
-
I know someone who got pregnant on Depo, had a failed/incomplete AB, when they went to put the mirena in there were still products of conception present (nothing viable, just remnants). Mirena was put in and 6 months later she was pregnant again.
I can't even begin to fathom the odds of both methods failing!!!
-
@scg00387: That's pretty scary!
-
I've had two friends get pregnant from Depo - both unmarried, right out of high school!
-
I don't know anyone who's specifically had Mirena, but I do know someone who had an IUD (could've been Mirena - I didn't ask) that had a tubal pregnancy. She already had 3 kids and didn't want anymore, so she ended up getting her tubes tied.
On another note, my mom had a copper IUD back in the day and she was allergic to the copper so her body pushed it out!

@FutureMrsMcK: yes! One of my friends who is in med school told me about a scan they were Joan and asked to guess what an object by the heart was... It was a mirena that had pierced through and was just floating around her body! Ugh. I'm sure they're extremely rare circumstances but still. Gives me the heebie jeebies!
