Pregnant on Mirena (IUD)?

I have had Mirena since December 2010. For the past month and a half I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms. When I first started having symptoms I took a digital pregnancy test (first response) it came back positive, so I called my OB immediatly and they got me in right away for a urine test at the office. It was negative, skeptical I went home and took the other test from the box again it came back positive. So again I called the doctor and told them about it, and again they wanted me to come in for a blood test. So I went back and got the blood test. After I had it done I went back home and took another home pregnancy test (first response) this time it was not digital, it came back positive with a very faint line. Then I anxiously awaited the phone call from the doctor then next day, finally it came! It was negative!! So being the skeptic I am, where did I go?? Walgreens for two more brands of hpt's. I took one from each box and both negative. When those came back negative I just stopped thinking about it for a month and now here I am. I have been feeling movement, fluttering?? Or maybe just gas bubbles. I also seem to have gained some weight, which could also be from not eating right.. I just dont know!!! I wanted to insist on a ultrasound after both of their tests came back negative, but I figured they already thought I was crazy so I didnt call back. So the question is, do you think I could indeed be pregnant?? Should I schedule another appoinment? Or is this all in my head? Has anybody reading this had a similar situation and been pregnant? Thank you in advance for your time and responses. :-)

No I did not even see my doctor. The lab just did the tests and when they came back negative they sent me home. But I can feel the string. It is just weird that I would get three positive tests... Like really what are the chances of 3 false positives? but then again what are the chances of 3 false negatives.. I will probably take another hpt and see what it says and if I still continue to have symptoms make an appt. Thank you for your input!

i got mine 3 months after my first daughter was born i thought i was pregnant several times while i was using it but never was but my pregnancy tests were always negative so if you have a feeling you are get tested again but they do have some pregnancy like side affects like mood swings, weight gain , no period so its hard to tell did your doctor make sure it's still in place?
