Answer
Hello Beenish,

I am not a medical professional but I have studied this subject for 20 years. I don't recommend Mirena or any kind of hormonal birth control method. It is up to you but perhaps you could have mirena removed and try a different kind of birth control method.

What are you doing about the thrush? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more. Perhaps I can research and see if I have any further advice.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
