Hello,
It is possible for menstrual cycles to become totally absent while on Mirena after tapering down. Conception rate is 80% in the first year after removal of the coil. Efficacy of the IUD remains for about 5 years. I suggest that you have a gynecological examination and an ultrasound to exclude any pregnancy. HPTs are not always positive with low levels of hormone as they are not sensitive, blood tests for pregnancy are better. Please consult your doctor for further advice. Take care.
