So i have had mirena for about 6 months now. I have a 8 month old daughter and my husband is getting ready to deploy for a year to Iraq. So thats a big reason why i got the Mirena. It would just be really hard right now if I was pregnant. Anyways.. I have been feeling the same way i did in the first trimester with my daughter. so i am really nervous! but scared to take a test!

I am going to suck it up and take one this weekend. But my main concern is that if I AM pregnant... what are the risks. Ive heard that mirena can cause the child your carring to be fertile. That removing the IUD can cause an abortion. If its an ectopic pregnancy.. well the list is never ending... i was just trying to research to look further into the risks so that my husband and i can make the right decisions with this if i am pregnant. If i am I of course want to continue the pregnancy! I think itd be a sign from God that I was truely suppose to be pregnant.. given the circumstances. I just want to know what to expect ya know.

If you are pregnant, the IUD will just be removed. There is a small chance of a miscarriage, but obviously you don't want it to remain in place, and they will check to rule out an ectopic. There can be a potential risk for your future fertility, not the baby's with its use, but that is really if you happen to develop infections with its use, or have other problems while using it.

You know I am worried about the same thing...They never tell you this crap when you get the thing inserted its all its 99.99 percent effective...well that little .01 percent never crosses your mind. I never got a period with mirena so I never thought to look for one, and I just had a baby. He is seven months old. I would want to keep it if I am pregnant I just thought that the whole point in getting it was to prevent me from peeing on a stick. I would love to know your results, and good luck.

I'm on the same boat. I got the 5 Year IUD because I have 2 boys and I thought that was enough stress on my body since I have back problems. I haven't gotten my period since my hubby got back from Iraq last September but lately I have been feeling so tiered and my boobs are hurting. I spotted a little last week but only when I wiped but it was a very light pink. I took a pregnancy test 2 days ago and it came out negative. I'm still worried....... should I go get a blood test done?

I too had a mirena and was just certain i was pregnant. i totally felt pregnant and had all the symptoms i had with my two sons. took a test, negative. so i went to the dr. they said that everything i was feeling is side affects of the iud. even if they dont show up for quite some time after you've had it. if you are still worried go to the dr. but the likely hood of you being pregnant is slim to none and the iud can cause pms symptoms which are very similar to pregnancy symptoms.

I also have a mirena IUD and am worried that I may be pregnant. I'm producing milk again my boobs hurt. i have been peeing alot I'm sick in the morning and I have had weird discharge my sex drive is off the wall and my mood swings are a sight to behold. I'm worried but i keep reading that home pregnancy tests may give false negatives. Any body have any suggestions. I would go to the doctor but i dont currently have insurance so can anybody give me some info i'm really worried.

I just confirmed that I am pregnant, with the IUD in place! I cant believe it I have had the mirena for 3years. I did not know this was possible. Not the best timing for me.
