Anyone ever gotten pregnant with IUD?

I'm just wondering if anyone on here has gotten pregnant while using the Mirena...I've had the Mirena for about 2 years and have loved it. I get slight cramping from time to time, but I haven't had a period in almost 2 years. I'm also newly divorced, so haven't really used it as birth control as it was intended, just loving the benefits of not having a period and not having to take a pill every day. I'm just curious, as I've had a change in my circumstances recently, if anyone has ever gotten pregnant while using the Mirena. I chose it because it's the most effective birth control out there and because I got pregnant with my daughter while on the pill.

Thanks in advance!

not sure if anyone here has had that happen....I had the mirena for about 3 years or so before having a tubal....wondered the same thing....I guess it's possible (as with all birth control there's a slight chance of it happening).....as long as your strings are still there you should be OK....

I had my Mirena for 3 1/2 years and never had a scare.

Hi Kaylah,


No pregnancy scares here! I've only had the IUD since December, so I'm coming up on one year.

Never a pregnancy scare in over 4 years with it in. I heard somewhere it was more effective than sterilization. :)
