    Can I get pregnant with the mirena?
    Hi I am 23 I have been wearing the same bra on the same hook on the same strap length for ages and recently it has be really tight so I asked my fiancée what he thought and he said they felt heavier so I went to a bra shop and got a bigger bra which fits better now, I also need to pee a lot, am very tired all the time, have no sex drive and I got cramps the other day which normally happens the same day as my period but it never came and I also have the mirena in me and I have not gained weight or changed my diet or how much I eat, what wrong with me, please help?

    Yes, you can get pregnant with the Mirena. Remember there is no form of birth control that is 100% effective aside from abstinence.

    Have you taken a HPT yet? If not, it might be a wise thing to do. Remember to use first morning urine.

    Is your period late? If so, how late?

    First morning urine provides the highest concentration of HCG, the pregnancy hormone, so you are less likely to get a false negative if you test in the morning.

    You can take a HPT now, if negative wait a week and test again. If still negative you might want to consult your doctor.
