Fewer than eight out of 1,000 women (0.8 percent) become pregnant over five years using Mirena. Why should I do more pregnancy tests than someone who uses condoms? My daily activities wouldn’t change much based on whether I got a pregnancy diagnosis or not.

Presumably someone using only condoms would have a missed period as a hint that they need to take a test, while many women on continuous birth control have infrequent or no periods so wouldn’t otherwise notice something was different.
