Marina IUD

Hi i have never been in the board before but had a question only you guys might be able to answer.

I had a Marina IUD put in 1 month ago and had an RNY 2 weeks ago. My question is how many of you have gotten pregnant on the Marina affter RNY, how soon after RNY, and was it an atopic pregnancy did the baby survive?

In my heart of hearts i would love another baby but the bipolar meds im on just makes it so unsafe for the child, major birth defects and so on. I just need to know if any of you have gotten pregnant on it so i can be prepared to go off my meds if it does happen.

Thanks for any replys,
Desi

I have had mine for 2 years and no pregnancy. I love it.

I don't know of anyone getting pregnant while on Mirena. I had my Mirena removed June 1st after almost five years. I've had 2 crazy cycles and finally getting "regular" now .. i'm 17 months out and we're currently TTC.

 I had it for 5 years and never got pregnant with it. I took it out and we got pregnant 5 months later.
I don't think you have anything to worry about with that IUD. I loved it and will get another one after this baby is born.
Take Care,

I loved my iud. I had an old style one before for 5 years and had to get it out cause it was time and it was awesome. I will be getting another one as soon as possible after this baby!!

It is possible to get pregnant with the IUD. That being said, it is one of the most effective forms of BC out there.  I had my IUD for 2 years and didn't get pregnant.    Just make sure to check your string once a month!    You could always have your hubby wear a condom if you don't trust just one form of BC.

I've had my Marina for almost 3 years and I'm 4 months out from my RNY, I love my Marina and I've heard that most of the pregnancy that occur with any form of IUD will do so within the first year, and usually it's due to the device not being placed correctly or expulsion after incertion.

I had one and loved it, got it removed and got pregnant in about 3-4 months.  I will be getting another one on Friday.  I know you can get pregnant with it, since it isn't 100%, but have never actually heard of anyone doing so.
