Answer
Lashawn,

Sorry you are having these problems and want more children. I pray you will be granted your wish, according to God's will. I really can't tell you what the problem is. You could be infertile but I would not be able to diagnose this over the internet. This might be one of the side effects of the IUD. I try to warn women about this but most doctors don't believe the dangers of different birth control methods. I'm glad you have the 2 kids that you do. Be thankful. Did you ever ask your doctor about the discharge and about him removing the mirena surgically? Let me know if you do find out any more information.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
