As long as the IUD is placed correctly you should not get pregnant. They should of have/had you back in the office after it was placed to have a ultrasound to make sure it was in the correct spot. About the sperm I am not sure. My guess would be that the sperm eventually die and or come back out.

There are two options. To get the IUD that lasts 5 years or the one that lasts 10 years. My brothers girlfriend had the one for 10 years, and its been seven years since since it was inserted into her and a month ago she gave birth to my niece. So yes using ANY birth control you still can get pregnant. I have learned the hard way...I was using the patch and still got pregnant.

Hello, I' am 25, have 2 boys, and have been using the mirena for approx 3yrs now. My sis-in-law has been using it for about 1&1/2 yrs. Her situation has been totally diff than mine, I have been getting normal periods (not as much as I used to before the mirena), but still have been getting it every mth, unlike my sis-in-law her menstruation stopped and a few days ago she had unbelievably strong pains which got her to think that she might be pregnant, so she did 2 PTs which came out + there was a risky possibility that she might have it on her tube which according to her physician it could cause death in 20min or so if her tube were to burst so she immediately head to the dr for an ultra sound, luckily it was a false pregnancy; interesting huh! well the reseason for the + tests and the strong pains were because her tubes were swelling because of the missed pd. and that caused her uterus to send + and sometimes unsure results to PTs although she is still on risk of a pregnancy because she is still obvulating. I thought it was necessary to share this with all of you because I thought it was interesting to know since most of us using the UID (mirena) have so many doubts about pregnancies w/ mirena. Good luck to all of us!!
Oh, 1 more thing it's april 25th and haven't gotten my period, I am now starting to worry. Although I haven't experience any symptoms, my worries are still there just hoping for the best.
