Answer
Dear Ana,

Yes, you can get pregnant on mirena or really any kind of birth control. There is no birth control method that is 100% safe in preventing pregnancy. If you think you are pregnant, you can go to a pregnancy resource center and get a free test there. Check this out http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe in the upper right hand corner of the page. Also, email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more.

Sincerely,
