    No, it's not true.

    I actually have a colleague who is pregnant with a mirena in place. She got a positive test at 4 weeks gestation.

    Pregnancy results in the production of the hormone called Hcg. The mirena has a low level of the hormone called progestin. Progestin will not conteract the pregnancy hormone in a pregnancy test.
