Abstract
Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing) intrauterine system (IUS) is a very reliable method of contraception with the failure rate comparable to sterilization. We present a case of recurrent failure of the Mirena IUS in-situ in the same woman with tw incidences of positive β-hCGs within two years of insertion of the same coil device, the first being suspected complete early miscarriage followed one year later by a confirmed ectopic pregnancy. Although LNG-IUS is one of the most effective methods of contraception, the risks of failure should always be kept in mind and the women be appropriately counseled before its use.
