The Mirena hormonal IUD has a high contraceptive effectiveness, but no method can be 100% sure. Symptoms such as breast and lower abdominal pain may be due to hormone action or changes in the cycle that are typical of Mirena. Bleeding and spotting, which you have also experienced, are also a common side effect of this method of contraception.
A negative pregnancy test reduces the likelihood of pregnancy, but if it was done too early, the result may be a false negative – it may be worth repeating in a few days. Confirmation of the lack of pregnancy can be a pregnancy test performed about 10 days after intercourse. for example.
If lower abdominal pain persists or intensifies, and the symptoms are worrisome, a medical consultation is necessary to rule out infection, inflammation or other complications that may require treatment.
If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
