When I was diagnosed in June this year I had had a mirena in for 18 months. My bc surgeon insisted it was removed ASAP as she said she believes it contributed to my cancer.

I did have to have it surgically removed in theatre though as the cord had flipped backwards and couldn’t be felt while I was awake. I wouldn’t go ahead with it and would encourage your husband to research having a vasectomy.
