Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] within 1 month of insertion Mirena starts working effectively as contraceptive.
2] There are very less chances of pregnancy both - inside uterus and ectopic also.
3]Please indulge in healthy diet and exercise regimen.
4]I will suggest Tab B LONG once a day for 3 months. This will help to reduce breast pain.
5] Itis good to do pregnancy test if you have bad lower abdomen pain, fainting attacks and or nausea / vomiting like pregnancy. Though chances are very less.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
