Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
I have read your notes.

Mirena IUD mainly acts locally on the endometrial lining. Fertility is restored immediately once it is removed. You have had sex several times after that. So there is a possibility of pregnancy. Among women trying for pregnancy 20-25% of them conceive in one menstrual cycle. So you have one in four chance of being pregnant. The Ortho Evra patch used just for six days has no protective effect.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
