Pregnancy Info HOME

It's been great reading through all these posts! I've read through other forum topics, specifically those whos test come back negative, but still feel pregnant. I've learned that some people do not even show up positive on a pregnancy test, urine or blood, until WELL into their pregnancy. Is that true with Mirena too? I am on mirena and have been for a year and a half. Throughout that time, I have not been regular... all summer didn't have a period. August, Sept, Oct, I DID have a period... 29-30 day cycle. My period should come today or tomorrow if I am on track. However, my last period, Oct 12, was very light, pinkish, brownish and didn't even need a pad... just when I wiped. The next few weeks I was EXTREMELY tired, just wanted to sleep forever! Also was feeling depressed, which I felt with my other kids in the very beginning. I was also feeling a little dizzy and was getting mild headaches(not like me). Finally got past that extreme tiredness stage, still tired, not too bad though. Then I started feeling a little nautious every so often. Pregnancy tests came back negative. I have 2 kids so I know what pregnancy feels like... and I feel pregnant. Then this last week, little nautious, b___sts started feeling larger and kinda felt like milk coming in, though not quite as sore(I b___stfed, so I know what it feels like). I squeezed one of my nipples and tiny dot of clearish/milky liquid came out! Is that normal? Also today when I wiped my nose, tiny amount of pinkish blood. About 2 days ago, I wiped and a long, thick slightly tinted yellowish strand of cm came out. Pregnancy related? I have also gained about 3 lbs in the last month. Anyways, pregnancy tests keep coming back negative, and also like I said I have mirena, so chance of being pregnant is very slim. I am waiting to see if AF will show up this week, and if not, I will take some more tests, and then see the OBGYN next week. Mostly I am worried about it since you are supposed to get mirena removed ASAP if you are pregnant. I don't necessarily want to be pregnant! , hence the mirena, but wouldn't mind. So could be all in my head, but only time will tell! What do you think, am I pregnant, and why won't it show up? Also if you go on ebay you can get pregnancy tests that have the same sensitivity as FR tests. 50 test strips for $15! Just make sure you get the ones with 25 ml sensitivity. I'll keep you all updated! God bless!

hey i need some advice. i have never had a problem with long periods in the past. i have had the iud since feb of 08. at first when i had it i bled alot...then it turned to spotting irregularly like 3 weeks out of the month. well just in the past 3 months i have been bleeding for a long time during my period. for example in september i bled for 3 weeks, then in october i bled for like 2 and a half weeks, now i just got over my period and it lasted like 1 and a half weeks. now i am not super heavy or anything, but with my period comes cramping. it will start like 2 or 3 days before my period and last all through my period. well i just got over my period like 3 days ago and i am still cramping down there, but its not feeling like a period cramp. its a consistent cramp thats not unbearable but uncomfortable. being i just go over my period i am going to a__sume that i am not pregnant but do you think that the iud is not right for me? i am really hesitant on going to the doctors because my husband and i just lost our health ins. in september and were not going to get it back for a little over a month. and suggestions?

Oh wow. I am so glad i found this sight! I got my IUD in January 2008 and haven't really had any problems with it. I had the paraguard IUD first back in 2007 after i had my 3rd child and had it taken out in July/August because it was causing my menstruals to be sooo heavy...(soaking super plus' in less than an hour) I've always been use to 3 day periods so 7 days of bleeding like that was HELL! Well anyway after i got it out September we had a pregnancy scared which resulted in a miscarriage and we opted to get back on something ASAP...While all three of my children were birth control babies, after a few months of the pill we decided to get serious and try the Mirena IUD. My periods became lighter immediately but still lasting 7 days. I've had my normal period every month for the past 10/11 months but this last month (November) it was just "barely" there? It was just a lite, pinkish show at first and then it somewhat turned dark but it just didn't seem like what i'd call my period? Now for the past few weeks and a few weeks leading up to my "period" i feel nauseated, bloated, and urinate quite frequently? It's hard to tell if i am though because i have been recently diagnosed with a hernia (not a painful one though i don't think) Its just so hard to determine one thing from another? Does anyone have any advice on this who has been pregnant while using the IUD before or may have thought they were and experienced the same thing? If so let me know plz.

Hello all, I'm new here... ok well I want to start off by saying I have had my copper IUD for almost 5 years now and have loved it. I have had irregular periods but end up having a period every months regardless... Until NOW! I totally missed the month of november! I haven't really had any other pregnancy symptoms other than missed period and being extra sleepy. My other symptom that I have noticed and my boyfriend has also noticed is that I have been very hot lately. My face and body feels like a slight fever but I don't feel sick., and I am literally burning up sometimes, like I need a fan or a/c. This is very odd for me because I am always cold and have a sweater on. So should I take a pregnancy test? and when? or could this be something else? THX :)

I have taken a few test at home and they have been neg. I also have the mirena.but after reading all this I am going to the doc tonight. I called them yesterday and they said that a blood test is the same as a pee test. I have been having weird moving in my lower part of my tummy at night and now in the morning.I called the doc and they told me it was just a twith if I tood hpt and it said neg I am fine.I all ready have 2 kids so I know this is not gas or a twitch. But if I am pregnant I would have to be a ways along to feel movement. Kinda freeked out.Like Melody I got my IUD in 2005 and my periods have just kinda stopped unless every few months I spot and thats it so I wouldnt even know if I missed one and am not prego. Anyone have any advice?

Hello all- I'm new to the forum. I came across this site when doing research on the risk of pregnancy with an IUD. I've had my MIrena in since August 200 (after 2nd child). I've been really concerned because I, like texpartyof5, had had regular "periods" for the past 2 years until now...I completely missed NOV. I keep telling myself that my intermitent nausea, headaches, increased hunger are caused by the flu or something else but now I'm not so sure. I'm deathly afraid of taking a test cuz I think a small part of me wants to be pg and if I am not it would be more stressful (not knowing what's wrong) and kind of a let down...Any advice?

I am experiencing all of the pregnancy signs, but two hpg have come back negative. Has anyone else had the same problem and was really pregnant? Please help!!!

PLEASE HELP! I'm crying as I write this...I don't really know why.... I got the IUD in August 2008 and I've been getting regular periods since then..always on the 12th. I didn't get it this month and even though its only been a few days I've been having "symptoms". I've gained 10 pounds in two months (went up to pant size 12 from an 8 in two months)! I've been having pinkish brownish disharge and I threw up after I had intercourse with my husband(which I only do when I'm pregnant)! I've been real tired and emotional. I cry for ANYTHING!!! My friends say I'm overreacting! I feel so alone. I'm going to feel for the strings tonight. Please help i need support that I'm not losing my mind. My husband and I already have 2 kids! Oh and I've been cramping and ga__sy for the past few days. Thank you so much and God Bless.

I also think i could be pregnant and with a 5yr old a 14month old and a marriage that is on the rocks this is the last thing i need right now.I know i should do a test but im scared of what the result will be argh i cant believe this is hapening i got the mirena coil in january 08.

I took a test and it was negative. This morning I bled for like 30 min then I'm getting slimy brown disharge. I was told by the clinic that an IUD's way of keeping you from getting pregnant is to keep the baby and egg from planting itself! So the baby is already there and it kills the baby by denying it nutrition! Regardless if I'm pregnant this thing is coming out ASAP! How many times so far has this thing killed a baby inside me?!

I just spotted all day(light brown)!! And then I read thats a pregnancy symptom! My doctor is saying it's not possible. I feel pregnant and I know many of you got negative tests too. I've also gained another 2 pounds in 2 days!! What is going on??

Funny stuff aint it. I choose Paragard cause I believed it was the best of the best birth control. No hormones to mess with me. Reliability. Do I understand this right....some of you ladies got negative HPT results however found out later you were indeed pregnant. Funny. I'm going on 10 days late and every test I've taken has been negative (only two tests so far). The doctors office suggested waiting another seven to ten days before retesting. Otherwise they'll jump start my period. Crazy. I don't think it's the being pregnant that gets ppl I think it's the not KNOWING. You should see my husband. We made absolute (well as absolute as we thought we could get) decision to not have any more children. HMMM....seven to ten days we'll find out. No matter what happens I'm going to research another BC.

I currently have the IUD and I have been expericening some pregnancy signs. eww I have 4 kids and don"t want anymore. But think that I may be pregnant. Ihave been sick bloated and lots of craving. I have had IUD for for four years and thats how old the youngest is.. Please help I took HPT and it read Negative but I need to go to drs.

well guess what.....i was pregnant. Was is the key word. I went to the doctor and confirmed it. THe same visit i removed the IUD and the same day I miscarried. For the best I'm sure...unfortunate though. well it's a mixed feeling. We are not ready for more children but it's sad to see life go away. i wish everyone the best of luck. Angelluv I'd take a test and if it comes out negative wait another week to retest OR maybe your doctor will come up with a different solution.
