mirena
i have a had the mirena in for about a year now. a couple months ago i didnt get my period for awhile which is normal i heard. i started to feel alittle sick like i did with my last child. but never felt the one symptom that i had with all three of my kids. so i said what the hell im going to take a test i did it was neg. i got my period in the middle of dec. and now have it again in jan. but i feel like little kicking. i first thought it was just me. but i had my boyfriend feel it and he felt the same thing. i took another pregnancy test and neg again. i tried to feel the strings which i just found out about. and i cant find them. in the beginning my boyfriend was able to actually feel the mirena while we were you know. and now he cant feel it at all. my question is has anyone else felt this way and ended up pregnant on the mirena
thank you. i have a appointment with the ob the 25. i will def keep you updated on what happened. :)

Hello,
Although with IUD’s chances of pregnancy due to birth control failure are low, but if you cannot feel the strings then it needs evaluation and pregnancy should be ruled out. To confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
