I haven't but I've read that a lot of women have miscarriages when they get them taken out during the pregnancy. Have you been to the doctor yet?

Mirena has a ton of lawsuits bc it slips out of place then women get pregnant and miscarry. Call your doctor immediately to have it removed if you're pregnant.

Do NOT get it removed. There is a greater risk for miscarriage.. they will monitor you closely, im sure you will be fine. My sister was soo scared while pregnant with mirena, my.niece is 1 and a half years old now :)

^ do what??!! When u get it put in thats in the pamphlet.  Get it out if you have a pos preg test. The dr says the same thing if you ask. Call your doctor for advice on this. I have ALWAYS been told and heard call immediately for removal bc of the risk of miscarriage and even higher risk of birth defects.
