BTW, last week my doctor pulled mirena out of a woman who was 20 WEEKS PREGNANT!!

Hello, I' am 25, have 2 boys, and have been using the mirena for approx 3yrs now. My sis-in-law has been using it for about 1&1/2 yrs. Her situation has been totally diff than mine, I have been getting normal periods (not as much as I used to before the mirena), but still have been getting it every mth, unlike my sis-in-law her menstruation stopped and a few days ago she had unbelievably strong pains which got her to think that she might be pregnant, so she did 2 PTs which came out + there was a risky possibility that she might have it on her tube which according to her physician it could cause death in 20min or so if her tube were to burst so she immediately head to the dr for an ultra sound, luckily it was a false pregnancy; interesting huh! Well the reseason for the + tests and the strong pains were because her tubes were swelling because of the missed pd. And that caused her uterus to send + and sometimes unsure results to PTs although she is still on risk of a pregnancy because she is still obvulating. I thought it was necessary to share this with all of you because I thought it was interesting to know since most of us using the UID (mirena) have so many doubts about pregnancies w/ mirena. Good luck to all of us!
Oh, 1 more thing it's April 25th and haven't gotten my period, I am now starting to worry. Although I haven't experience any symptoms, my worries are still there just hoping for the best.

I have had the mirena since April this year 2009. I've never been on any other form of birth control other than condoms at all in my life. I thought my iud was out of place but not sure. I do have insurance however, I'm scared to go find out. I have a miscarriage in 2007 and I don't know if I can bare another one. I have a friend on mirena who had 2 misarriages, so I am flipping out. Plus I am on medications that I'm not suppose to take while pregnant. So I'm scared. I already have 2 children. One is 3 and one is 5 months old. I'm single and I don't know how to deal with this. I took a positive pregnancy test Friday. I drank that night too. I feel horrible and I don't want to go back to my doctor in fear that I have risks. Which I already know do. :( I'm waiting it out. I don't want to get my hopes up and I'm scared to have the iud removed.

Goodness, now I am really getting worried. I have had the Mirena IUD in for a little over three months now. When I first got it inserted I bled for about 4 weeks, went to the doctor and was told that this is "normal." I stopped bleeding for about 9 days, than started again for three weeks. Stopped bleeding for about 2 weeks, than bled for about another two. Than I stopped again about a week ago. But since than I have been very nautious and have thrown up twice! I am feeling cramps around my uterus. Could I be pregnant? Has anyone else had this similar experience?

I am in the same spot as you are! I have had it for about 2 yrs now. I had some spotting for like a day or two and than nothing since. I have been feeling sick to my stomach and weak. Sore breasts. Craving chocolate (which I don't normally like to eat) and having some cramps and more vaginal discharge than usual. The white milky looking discharge. I have taken 2 tests both have been negative. I am right now looking for the free clinic in my area because I have 2 other kids and just know my body!

I have a one year as a result from getting pregnant with the IUD. Get it checked.

Hi, I am going through the same thing right now. I had my mirena placed after I gave birth to my first child.. that was in oct for two months after that I had a light period then it just stopped, now for the last month I will bleed heavy one day, stop for two days, do it again, I didn't think anything of it till I started feeling nausea and now I am noticing that my belly is getting hard at the top like it did for my daughter, I have an appt tomorrow to get it checked out.. I have taken 4 pregnant. Tests, all negative so I might just be thinking too much, who knows but I heard it is seroius if you are pregnant with it in so I am going to be responsible and check it out... also they told me to search for my strings to feel them, I felt 3 times, I didn't feel anything, so mine could have fallen out, I will let you know after tomorrow.
Good luck

Hey sweetie I know how you feel I'm going through the same thing right now. I have been on the mirena IUD for about three or four months now. I look like I have a baby belly and my boobs feel very heavy and their sore all the time. I spooted for a day or two it was a funny color. I've been having these pains/cramps in my lower stomack. I took a home pregnant test twice both of them where negative. I talked to my friend she's had an IUD in for almost 3 years now. She told me that you can get pregnant with an IUD because nothing is 100% and that the hormones in the IUD might mess with the pregnant test. So if you could wait a couple weeks then take another one if that on comes out negative then you might want to go see a doctor if you still feel the same. Right know I am trying to get in to see a doctor to see what's wrong with me. (I can't even find my strings)

Hello again, so as I stated before I said I was going to see the doctor today because I felt pregnant, my tests were negetive at home, and I couldn't find my strings... so I went. I still have my iud in and no I'm not pregnant. She said the mirena will mess with my hormones, and as far as my stomach being hard, she said it could just be I am pregnant, but I feel better now knowing. She also said there is no way I could feel my strings because my cervix is really long, so that might be your case if you were trying to feel for them and could not. I hope everyone is helping you with your thoughts. I would still go to the doctor set your mind at ease.

Good luck

Hi I'm 23 years old I not user if I'm pregnant I just want to know because I been with sore breast and stuff coming out of mi breast I been having dizziness ,nausa when I get full and sleeping too much I was wondering what happening with me

I had the IUD for 9 years everything was OK, but it has been 15 days that I don't have my period, I had nauseas but not everyday, with my second pregnancy it happened the same, I was reading the posts it really scare me just thinking I could miscarriage, well this baby was not in my plans, but like I said a baby is a bless from god, I'm studying right now (was not in plans like I said before) my second child is 12 years old. Do you imagine to start over again? The first one is already 15 years old, I didn't want to have more children two were enough. If I confirm that I pregnant well, it is true that you can get pregnant while the IUD is inserted.

I have had my IUD for 2 years. I have had no periods with the IUD in place -
I feel pregnant - cramping in my pelvic area, some nausea/fatique but not major fatique...
I took 2 home tests - they were negative - blood test from Dr also negative (all within 7 days) -
I have a hard time figuring out the best time to test due to no periods ----> WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME??

I have had my iud in for about a year my daughter (she is my youngest) is only 15 months. I have been feeling out of sorts as well and decided to take a test. Actually I took two of them and both were positive. I go to the doctors this afternoon. Obviously this was not a planned pregnancy. I say the iud's need a lot of work.

I have the mirena also and my problems didn't start happening until recently as well and it's the same about ten pound weight gain and my period stopped about 3 months ago and just over the weekend my breasts started hurting. I would just go some were like plannedparent hood and ask for a blood test because I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative too but I'm going today to get the blood test just to make sure. Good luck

I've have not had a period since April of 2009 and I have taking more then 5 pregenecy test and they all came up negative and I called the doctors where I had it put in and they sad that if I take a pregency test and it comes up negative it means that I'm not pregent and I don't have to worry about it. I got the mirena in on oct. 2007. I don't know what to do.

I have had the Mirena for about a year now. My periods were kindof out of wack at first, then leveled off, now for the past week I have only spotted and cramped. I have been very emotional, but that could be due to the holidays and the family members I lost this year. I am really starting to freak out after reading all this because I have 2 kids of my own, and 3 step, yes 5 total! I wasn't planning for any more, but also don't want to miscarry if I am pregnant. This is unreal.

Im kind of going through the same thing right now I am 21 years old and I have two children already and don't want anymore for now. I have had my mirena since April 2009. Lately I been very moody my breast are very tender... and I have been putting on some weight... I have taken two pregnancy test and they are both negative... I am going to try to call the doctor... My husband thinks I am over reacting though...

Okay so now I'm getting scared... I had my period but it was like a spotty period witch since I got the mirena it was normal to me but now... im craving chocolate witch I barley eat,I feel dizzy,very sleepy,use the bathroom more then I usually do,and have a headake about every other day... oh yeah and cramps... my baby is one and although a baby is a blessing I wanted to wait until she was at least 3 to have another baby... does anyone here think I could be pregnant? And no I haven't taken a pregnancy test... to scared... please someone let me know what they think!?

Thank you!
