HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The efficacy of mirena as a contraceptive is between 99.3% to 99.8%. This only leaves a small window for pregnancy to occur.
Even though the risk is very small, you can consider a pregnancy test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
The symptoms can also be related to the period symptoms that you experienced.
I hope this helps
