Is Mirena safe if you've had pulmonary emboli?

I was on Seasonale to control endometriosis and two weeks ago I was hospitalized because I had multiple pulmonary emboli. I'm now on medication to thin my blood but my endometriosis issues still remain.

My Dr. recommended Mirena to control the endometriosis because it contains only progesterone and releases it locally. My question is how likely is it to cause another embolism?

Update:

Obviously i've already consulted a Dr. Mirena was her suggested solution, I want to know if her logic is sound.
