I am wondering if anyone knows if the effectiveness of IUD decreases when on antibiotics? Specifically the Mirena IUD-which has hormones. I have the Mirena and was talking antibiotics about the time i would have been been ovulating. Its been 5 weeks since my last perod. and I have some pregnancy symptoms but am trying to hold off another week before taking a test. ( i have a feeling i am just being paranoid)

No, the IUD is not affected by hormones, but if you have symptoms it is always a good idea to test.
