I have had my mirena for five years. It expired on feb 6th. But my appointment to replace it isn’t until feb 29th. I have been experiencing sharp pains kind of in my groin area I guess it’s my uterus but I’m not sure. Is it possible I could be pregnant?

If your Mirena expired February 6, I would consider yourself unprotected as far as pregnancy. Also, since the Mirena is expired, you are probably receiving less of the hormone progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone that regulates your cycle and provides pregnancy protection. Your body may be reacting to the decrease of progesterone and you may be experiencing some cramping. You may also experience some irregular bleeding or a period prior to having the next one inserted.

If you are experiencing persistant abdominal pain that worsens, or is accompianed by fever, chills, vomiting or diarrhea, go to your local emergency room for evaluation.
