I have had the mirena IUD for about a year and a half I haven't had a period for some time now (which is why I decided on that form of BC) I already have a 2 1/2 year old sone. Lately however I have been having some of the same symptoms as when I was pregnant before.. Tender breast, terrible taste, very very sleepy, nausea, head aches. I haven't taken a test yet because I didn't think I could actually get pregnant. I was just wondering if anybody else has gotten pregnant while using mirena and if so what were your symptoms.. I would appreciate any help.. Thanks

I have had two friends to get pregnant on Birth Control... not Mirena, however. It is possible to get pregnant when on birth control. I would take a test to make sure that you weren't pregnant and if you are then I would definitely go to the doctor to make sure that the pregnancy was not ectopic. Good Luck.

Mirena has a 99.9% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Now of course that leave .01% that you could get pregnant... but very unlikely.
I would venture to say you are experiencing PMS symptoms, which can still occur with no actual period at all.

Honistly worndering th esame thing myself. I've herd more and more of the IUDs failing. The best thing to tell you is to test. Asap. You've already had a baby you know you need care asap. Good luck

I had these same symptoms on Mirena out of nowhere last month after everything being normal for a year. But test came back negative and the symptoms went away after a bit. Doc said the Mirena may have shifted.
