To: everyone with IUD problems

I got my mirena last week during my period.. I had light cramping so far. So hope everythings goes good. I will post next month to see how everything is going.

P.S. i had abnormal periods for almost two years and i found a natural hormone balance liquid. MIRACLE i should say because after a week of taking it never again i had spotting during the months. And that was last year. So i will take it again with the mirena hopefully that will help on not making my hormones going out of wack.. :) liquid is called MACA..look it up

I've had mirena in since April. I am 30 years old. It was a desperation move. I had been on depo for almost 7 tears prior due to a horrible hormonal imbalance that caused near constant bleeding- and I mean very heavy bleeding (1 pad every 4 hrs) most of the time. I haven't ever had a normal period ever in my life. Exercise makes me bleed. Sex makes me bleed. Every Dr I've been to keeps telling me try this, do that. I wish they'd just do a hysterectomy and have done with me already, but I keep being told I'm too young for 'such drastic measures.' While I'm happy to say that the bleeding has stopped altogether for the first time in my life, I have much the same pregnancy symptoms as many others. I have not had a real period in years, and have not had any bleeding (for the first time in MANY years) since getting mirena.

THe first week with mirena was hell- worse than hell even. I wasn't just cramping, I was having contractions. I slept little that first night. Some contractractions were so bad, I had to breathe through them. I really thought I'd lose the IUD. By morning, it was a little better and I managed to nap a little. I thought I had gotten through the worst, but when I tried to get up, I started cramping again, and an hour later I had to lie down after the cramps turned into contractions again. I was bleeding heavily at first, (1 pad every 3 hrs or so) but I sweated through the pain for 2 more days, and it finally stopped. I bled moderately for about 2 more weeks.

After that,I felt great until about late June. For the first time in my life, I could ride my horses as much as I wanted without bleeding later.I could wear a swimsuit for the first time in years without fear of a little string dangling out. Most importantly, I could have sex without bleeding for a week after! I was on cloud nine- for just a short while.

Now I'm just a mess. While I don't bleed at all anymore, and I mean NOTHING, no spotting, no dripping, no cramps even (ONLY reason I tried mirena) and I'm REALLY glad that for the first time in my life I don't have to worry about bleeding all the time- I feel wierd all the time. I've gained 20 pounds (I went from size 6 to 12) and I hate it! my breasts are growing and feel strange. (more on this later) I was an A cup, and now I'ma D!! I don't like this. I look pregnant. My best friend was sure I WAS pregnant until a HPT came up negative. I feel pregnant (all my pregnancies have ended in miscarriage-my longest of 6 pregnancies was 18 weeks). I have morning sickness. I feel the flutters. The most disturbing is that now, my breasts are leaking as if I am lactating. (does this happen to anyone else?!?) While others have reported no desire for sex, my libido is in overdrive. My husband said I'm driving him nuts, and not in a good way.

About a month ago, I had an endless appetite and cravings for salty foods. Even though I had been sick every morning, by noon I was starving! That gradually faded away to being sleepy all the time.

I can still feel my threads, so I know mirena is still there.

At least I know I'm not alone. While this is awful, I'm still not sure it's the same degree of awful that I had before mirena where I had no libido, bled constantly, and was always aneamic and tired. I'm really not sure what to do. I could have it removed and go back to the hell I was in before, or stay in this unknown now. Has anyone waited this out long enough to know if the pregnancy symptoms go away?

Please tell me. I'm just so lost that I'm not sure if I'd rather feel like I'm pregnant permanantly or go back to bleeding all the time. I'm really to scared to live with it and too scared to have it removed.

wow.... after reading all these posts Im wondering if theres something wrong with the IUDs we all got placed. I have had regular periods since day one i got the mirena placed, until 6wks ago. Im late with my period, which never occured before. I have had the IUD since Jan 2007, and Im starting to wonder if I might be pregnant. For the past month Ive been extremely tired and always sleepy, very emotional, and feel I have gained weight. I did a home prenancy test and it was negative. Went to the doctors office, had blood work done, and everything was normal. For whatever reason I started thinking there might a hormonal imbalance that might be causing all these symptoms. Im starting to think I should to my gyn ....Could this be a reasonable explanation?

I had the mirena placed back in April after my 7th baby was born. I been feeling pregnant for awhile due to the hormones in the IUD. I had bled every day from the day I had it placed until 4 days ago it just stopped all together. I been having some cramping and I'm not sure but the strings feel shorter. I took a pregnancy test this evening and it had a slight positive. I do not want any more children - the whole reason for getting the mirena. If I am pregnant for sure, I will be P-oed. This thing has been hellish from the beginning, and to end up pregnant on it just isn't right. Will be retesting tomorrow.

Wow its amazing how many of us have the same symptoms. Well I had my Mirena inserted in November of last year. It was perfectly fine until about 2 months ago. I stopped getting my period which I know can be normal. Two weeks ago I started to feel really dizzy, nauseas and even vommitted one day. Then I started the frequent urination, accompanied with lower back pains, the nurse said I must be experiencing UTI. I went to the doctors and I dont have any UTI, I took 3 PG tests and they are all negative but for the last three days I feel like their is something moving in my stomach, I have a 7yr old so I know the feeling of being pregnant. My breasts are also very tender... and I started spotting for the first time in two months...I'm very confused, but it seems these are all normal symptoms of the Mirena, my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy!!!

I am also glad that I am not the only one with this concern. I have had my mirena for about 2 1/2 years. I had it inserted after I had my son. The thing that concerns me is that my breast are extremely sore. I can't even walk down the stairs without having to hold them. This was my first symptom when I was pregnant with my son. I remember the next symtom was pain in my lower back. I haven't experience that yet but I'm debating if I should go ahead and take a HPT or just wait it out. I haven't told my husband yet, I don't wanna get him all stressed out especially if its over nothing. We do want to try for another baby soon, but of course we want to get the mirena out first so there would be no complications. I really just don't know what I should do, but I am very happy that I found this forum!!

hi, i have had the iud put in three times the first time was okay but i got kinda scared cause i wasn't getting my period and the doctor didn't tell me n e thing about side effects or symtoms (symptoms) of the iud so i had it removed after i had my second child in 2007 i had the iud put in again everything was good until i found out i was pregnant in november of 2007 i was four months pregnant and didn't know a thing turns out that the iud was misplaced and came out.

I'm having the exact same situation, I've had my IUD since March 31st of this year. I've been bleeding for the past 3 months almost until this past Saturday when my bleeding completely stopped and I started feeling the flutter, which I still feel as I sit here and type!! I took 3 HPT and they all came out Neg, but I called my OB and they had me come in this morning to take blood to check my HGC level. This flutter is not something you forget if you ever have had a child!! I'm freaking out on the inside and will let everyone know what my results come back as. Either way this thing is coming out and never going back!!! Good Luck to everyone!! P.S. I have friends that have gotten pregnant on the IUD but failed to tell me that before having it inserted!!! LOL

I came on the net to check if it was normal to get pregnancy symptoms with IUD because I have every symptom I have had with my girl and boy. I had my IUD put in November last year and this is the first time I have had these symptoms. I'm thinking of doing a HPT since my mum had IUD and fell pregnant with my younger brother all those years ago. My concern is can the hormones in the IUD give false results? Has anyone done the HPT and it comes out negative but they actually are pregnant? Glad to find out I'm not the only one in this situation though I was beginning to feel like I was losing my mind.

hello ladies like you i have had the pregnancy symptoms with my IUD which is why i am haveing the health dept. take it out. if you are haveing these symptoms which i found out are side effects to the IUD take a pregnancy test it should show if you are pregnant. i talked to the health dept and they said alot of women are haveing these symptoms even though they are not listed as possible side effects that is what they are. myself i have decided to have my IUD removed because i am tired of worring if i might be.

So weird i have been having similar symptoms specially the little kicks(had mirena in for 2 yrs) but i've taken lots of HPTs all are negative I dont get it. I have a doc appt this thursday but i'm so anxious to find out what the heck is going on. i know my body and it doesnt feel right, but i just cant figure out if its this mirena or if i am really pregnant. So did you ever find out if you really were pregnant?

Ok So i have had mirena in for 2 yrs and have had no symptoms and no issues until recently. I've been tired, had a crazy appetite sometimes i'm starving and then when i go to eat i can only eat very little and then there are times where everything i look at makes me sick to my stomach. Also i've started noticing some light little kicks, but my question to all of you is, have any of you taken HPTs and all came out negative, but later find out you are pregnant maybe even quite far along?

I have always gotten my period on Mirena, except for last month. now every now and then i get abdominal pains in my left side of my stomach, ive gained weight and my stomach looks like i am pregnant. i feel bloated all the time, i get dizzy and want to sleep all the time. i also have some kind of discharge and am constantly going to the bathroom. i took a pregnancy test cuz ive had all the symptoms of being pregnant except for swollen boobs and nausea. the test came back negative but im so confused, i feel pregnant and have always gotten my period on mirena, i dont know what to do, is there still a possibility that i may still be pregnant?

I have no idea whats going on with me!!! Im 20 years old and never had a child but i had mirena inserted 02/28/10 because my insurance was cutting me off and I figured it was the best option since there really werent any others. For the past couple of weeks I've been feeling really nausous, had acidosis in my stomach, severe bloating, and my stomach is super tender and my bowel movements are super irregular. I dont have tender breast or even any craving but the sickness lasts all day and is worst at night. I really am starting to think that im pregnant and super scared. Someone please help!!

To: barbara1217...

if you are actively trying to get pregnant you need to have the IUD removed. It is not good to be pregnant and have the Mirena, it can cause miscarriage and preterm birth. IF you want to get pregnant there is no reason to be on birth control...

I am the 22 year old mother of a four-year old and this December will be four years since I had my Mirena placed.  I had it placed because my mother and doctor reassured me that it was the most effective birth control on the market with the least number of negative side effects.

The placement hurt like hell.  It was BAD.  My doctors wound up prescribing something for the pain on the 2nd day of me being unable to walk from the cramps.  My periods were shorter starting with my first cycle after placement...and they continued to decrease in length and heaviness until they stopped completely around six months after placement.  Since then, I think I have had four or five periods (if you can even call them that...each was extremely minimal spotting which generally lasted less than 36 hours or only showed up immediately after sex).

I had some nausea after about a year and a half...took a home pregnancy test (which came back negative) and then called my gyno just in case.  I spoke with one of the nurses who told me that the chances of getting pregnant with the Mirena are incredibly slim.  In fact, she kind of chuckled at me when I told her I was SURE that I was having morning sickness and wanted them to do a test in the office as back up.  She reassured me that it was incredibly unlikely and suggested I give it a week or two.  She said if I was still having nausea to call back and they would make me an appointment.  The nausea stopped two days later.

I have absolutely LOVED the freedom and peace of mind the Mirena has offered me, especially after talking to the laid-back and reassuring nurse.  I have been able to have sex with my partner without the slightest fear of pregnancy...plus not having to take monthly breaks for mother nature was a definite plus.  It has been phenomenal and I recommend the Mirena to all of my friends.

However...as wonderful as the Mirena HAS been...for the last three weeks I have been horrible nausea EVERY single morning.  A week ago I took a home pregnancy test which came back negative.  Seeing that put me on a cloud...I am NOT ready for another child.  I was happily walking on that cloud with my morning sickness for the last week until yesterday when I noticed my breasts were extremely tender.  This morning...horrid nausea again and the pain in my breasts has tripled.  What's more is the pain feels absolutely identical to the pain I felt immediately after my son was born when my milk first came in.  Any mothers who exclusively breast fed for at least a couple of months remember the feeling that came as you produced milk upon hearing your child cry...I used to leak milk all over the place after feeling the feelings my breasts have been having for the last two days.  This feeling is so similar, out of curiosity I squeezed my breasts as if pumping to see what would happen...can you guess?  A few drops of liquid came out.  Fortunately it was more or less clear and did not hold any of the thicker hindmilk that is typically found in full-fledged breastmilk...but nonetheless...I should not be lactating!!!

Mind you, it is VERY reassuring to read about all of the other women who have had the symptoms of pregnancy because of the Mirena.  I will definitely be getting in touch with my gyno for an appointment.  I am wondering if the hormone that is release by the Mirena is wearing or tapering off because I have had it for so long.

Also, it is my understanding that the Mirena basically "tricks" your body into think it is pregnant anyways.  Like, that is the way it works and why many women stop having their periods and/or stop ovulating with the Mirena.  If you think about it, to a certain extent it makes sense that a side-effect might be symptoms of pregnancy.

Also, apparently there is nothing in Mirena that would cause a false negative pregnancy test.  Like, it doesn't BLOCK the production of HcG.  If there is a fertilized egg in their...the HcG will show up and a home pregnancy test would pick it up.

While I read about many women that have gained weight on Mirena...I haven't had that issue yet.  I wouldn't mind having larger breasts...but having another baby is definitely not on my list of wonderful ideas.  I am thinking of having the Mirena removed and having a new one inserted; that is entirely dependent on my doctors advice.

To: to everyone with mireina

i have had my mireina for a little over a year now and I deffantly havent had light to no periods. And I did gain weight, got moody, lost of sex drive. But I think it has evened out and im getting back to normal! They say that it suppose to help with heavy period or even stop them but to be honest, it really depends on your bodys response to mireina. Some ppls body reject it by giving u problems like severe cramps, headaches, it falling out and etc. then u should really consider another method. But the most important thing is that it prevents pregnancy. thats all u should be worried about!

I've been looking on the web an I can't find anything! So I've had the mirena in since oct of 08 and I haven't had any problems with it except my periods. I don't get one for months and then when I do it only last 2 days and it's so light it's like a waste of a tampon. Then 2 days after I stop I get it again for like another day or two. Again super light. Well I haven't had me period in I don't know how long but my breast are really tender and I sort of feel quezzy. I have an appointment next week to check if I'm prego but I just want to know if anyone has gone through something similar. Anything would be a really big help. Thanks so much!

I am 19 yrs old and had mirena inserted two weeks ago. These two weeks have been miserable. Cramping like ive never had I dont know if i would even call it cramping its so painnful almost like a contraction would feel? i dont know cuz i havent had any children. I almost passed out after the insertion at the gyno and have been sickly since. I dont even want to get up. I feel the need to breathe through these cramps or even "push" slightly. I feel so hungry all the time but when it comes time to eat nothing seems good and i can only eat a few bites. The pain has gone into my lower back now as well. Sex hasnt even been on my mind because of the pain and it makes me cringe when my fiance even asks I know he must think im crazy. We both wanted this for a reason so we wouldnt have to worry about pregnancy and now it isnt even happening. I hate complaining about it but these stomach pains are the worst pains ive ever felt. I worry that maybe it was inserted wrong or something but reading the other reviews I feel like were all going through the same thing. All the ppl who recommended it to me have had children and didnt have much complaints but they didnt realize not having any children yet would make a difference in the aftermath. Im just so uncomfortable and if these symptoms are anything like pregnancy then I plan on not having children and I consider myself to have a strong tolerance to pain so idk im just glad others are going through the same things i am.

I am 45 years old, and I had the mirena put in after the birth of my son almost 4 years ago. I have not had a regular period since, only the occasional spotting. I have been feeling sick to my stomach lately, mostly at night and my breasts are very tender. I am worried that I may be pregnant but can’t know for sure because I have not had a real period since it was put in. What should I do? I am scared about taking a pregnancy test!

I need help and am having trouble getting financial support. I have the Merina in for the second time and don't remember feeling the cramping when I first got it in. I felt the threads the first day and didn't everytime after that. This is the second month that I've been bleeding for about 5 days on and off. I just recently moved to Iowa from Colorado and am having problems finding a job. I don't know if it's stress, but I'm concerned. I got the Merina this past Aug. and didn't have a period in Sept. I hope it stops soon. I had to have the last one removed through minor surgery since the threads went up into my uterus. I went two months before I got this one in. I wasn't on a period when I got the Merina in this second time. Since I've been in Iowa, I've walked more and changed my eating habits. I hope this passes soon.

Hey everyone,
I have had almost every symptom everyone has listed in their comments. I have talked with my doctor...she said that the pain and cramping is prob related to ovarian cysts caused by the IUD. She said this is very common and they typically go away. She did an US and I had several large cysts (all of which went away), this was 3yrs ago. I continue to have all these symptoms and have taken MANY preg tests, all negative and no baby yet, lol. So I think all these symptoms are caused from the IUD. BEWARE though!....I know 2 people who had mirena or another IUD and ended up pregnant! It can cause a lot of unnecessary grief. So if you think you're preg take a test, if it's neg go see your doctor. Because if you are preg and you wait to long it can cause a miscarriage. Hope this helps :)

Hi OMG Im having the same symptoms. Ive had severe weight gain and started feeling that fluttering in my stomach. That fluttering feeling felt exactly what it felt when I was pregnant with my son. Its like a baby kicking inside me. My husband and I laid in bed last night and watched my stomach flutter! Needless to say, we arent ready for another baby. Our son is 18 months and we chose long term BC for a reason. After work today I took HPT and it was negative, like everyone else. Im planning to take another in the morning. No one is following up with their post saying whether or not they actually were preg after blood test. We just moved across 3 states and have No Insurance. I cant afford to waste a Dr Appt for them to tell me that Im just having symptoms. Im freaking out!!! Wish someone would comfort me by saying " ITS JUST SYMPTOMS"

I got my iud two years ago and I. Didn't have the heavy bleeding for long however, I did gain a lot of weight and my skin went crazy. About a week ago I went to the restroom and notice I had started spotting again I haven't had a peroid in about two years. Then, it stopped. So my husband and I were having sex and out of nowhere my iud was in him hand. I'm scared because we don't want anymore kids for a few years. I haven't seen my doctor but I am bleeding cramping. I'm at a lost....

OK - so just an update that might interest you (or not :-)).... As I mentioned before I have been having the same symptoms as you girls have had. Then yesterday the cramping got a little worse and I felt a pin-***** kind of pain "down there". I have been vigilent in checking my wires (four kids is enough right now) and yesterday I noticed they seemed a little lower. I went to a Doc today and my Mirena had dislodged and was sitting and was stuck in my cervix! I have had my Mirena in for 11 months - she said this was rare to happen... She has sent me for a blood test to find out if I am pregnant! Fingers crossed I'm not! Find out tomorrow...

I can't believe there are soo many people out there with similar stories! My story is quite the same...I just turned 31, already have 3 children, ages 12 ,10, and 5. Last fall I went to my ob-gyn for my annual exam, and discussed the options of tying my tubes versus keepin the mirena which I've had in since Feb 2007. After hearing the pros and cons, and being told that they both have the same effectiveness, I was convinced to stick with the mirena IUD, since I really didn't want to put my body through that of a tubaligation if the chances of pregnancy were about the same...AND my periods would go back to what they were before the Mirena which was 8 days of pure torture! For the past 5 years, I have had normal, on time periods every month.. I spotted for 2-3 days, then had 3 days of regular menstruation, followed by 1-2 days of spotting. like clockwork, within a day of the previous month, I bled...I am due to have my IUD replaced in Feb 2012, just got the call from the Dr's office to set up that appt, so I pushed this years annual exam to feb as to not have to go in twice...Well, about 1/1/2 wks ago, my 10 year old was throwing up, and just the sight of him being sick, literally made my stomach turn, and I can usually handle that since I've been through it x3 children already. Then I noticed my breasts were sore...other than that, I thought everything was quite normal, until right before xmas, when I should have started to spot and did not...then my normal period did not come...and I was due on 12/27...after doing some research online, and knowing my own body, I decided to call the local walk-in clinic and skip the home pregnancy test which I read that most people get false negatives with anyways...took the test today, and found out I am 4 weeks pregnant! So tomorrow I have an appt with my ob-gyn to do an emergency ultrasound and exam to see where my IUD is; if it has been expelled, or still in place. I personally wasn't planning on having any more children, but am actually happy about this. Still in utter shock at the moment that this has actually happened to me, 1 month before I was due to have it replaced...My younger sister is also pregnant with her second child, and is due in July, so we for the first time ever, will get to be pregnant at the same time, and have children the same age! As long as there are no complications with the pregnancy due to the Mirena, which I will know more about MY risks tomorrow after I see my Dr. I think the fact that I know my own body so well, was a plus for me to see the signs early enough to hopefully have it removed with no complications. It's nice to share my story and know that there are others out there who have or are going through the same things as I am...

So, yesterday I went to my OB-GYN for the emergency appt. I had to see where my IUD was, and to do a blood test to confirm the pregnancy hcg levels in my blood. When I saw the Dr, I was convinced that since I hadn't been able to feel the strings to my IUD, that it had become expelled from my body in some way. I was surprised to hear her say that the IUD was EXACTLY where it was supposed to be! We discussed the risks of keeping the IUD in place, but before we could go any further, we have to rule out an ectopic pregnancy which is one of the complications of getting pregnant with an IUD in place...so, I was sent over to the hospital to have a stat ultrasound and stat bloodwork. the bloodwork showed that my hcg level was at 467, which is normal for this stage of pregnancy. Unfortunately the ultrasound didn't show anything, since it is too soon to see ANYTHING in my uterus. They say that they normally can't see anything that early, as according to my last period, I am only 4 wks and 6 days. they can usually start to see something around 5 wks, once the hcg levels reach between 1500-2000. So, my IUD remained where it was, and I was told to repeat my bloodwork in 48 hrs as the HCG levels double every 48-72 hrs in a normal pregnancy. this reading will help them to determine early on if this could possibly turn into a miscarriage, or signs of an ectopic pregnancy. this morning my ob-gyn dr. calls me, and asked me how I was feeling, and that she wanted me to go to labor and delivery at the hospital because after reviewing my bloodwork and the final results of the ultrasound, and discussing with other doctors, they didn't want to wait to remove my IUD, they want to remove it today, to give the pregnancy every chance to grow normally. So I went to the hospital, had the IUD removed, which was quite painful, but over in a second. I was told that there of course is still risk of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, and due to the removal of the iud may experience spotting or bleeding, which also may not mean either of the above, and could just be from the IUD removal itself. I still have to go for repeat bloodwork tomorrow to check if my hcg levels are doubling as they are supposed to, which again, a good indication of normal pregnancy. I will have to have a repeat ultrasound later in the week to determine where the pregnancy is; and repeat bloodwork again...

I was due to have mine replaced in february, and found out I was pregnant last week. Had the same symptoms as you, which I didn't have the whole 5 yrs before...Thank god we caught it early because it ended up being an ectopic pregnancy, and I began bleeding into my abdomen before the tube ruptured, so I had to go in for emergency surgery on 1/3/12 to have it removed. I WILL NEVER AGAIN USE AN IUD AS A METHOD OF BIRTH CONTROL. I am completely freaked out that this happened to me, and could have killed me. I hope that you are not pregnant, but I would reccomend getting a blood test ASAP. When I found out I was only 4 wks and 5 days, and they couldn't even see anything on the ultrasound the first time. I had to wait 4 more days for them to see SOMETHING on the ultrasound, and when they finally did, like I said, I was bleeding internally already...Best of luck to you, as I am still recovering from this nightmare!

I too am having the same thing. I have had my mirena since Nov 2009. The past couple weeks I have had the same symptoms. Nausea, headaches, backaches, cramping, cravings, dizziness, severe hunger pains, bigger breasts, and fatigue. Oh and MAJOR mood swings. I spent 2 hours this morning crying my eyes out and dont' know why. I haven't cried in a long time, and all of a sudden I can't stop. I want to know if any previous postees have confirmed they were pregnant?? I don't know what to do! I know it is possible, but at the same time. I do NOT want anymore children. After the last surprise (4th child), I really don't want, nor need anymore children. I am scared as well. I don't want to get a pregnancy test, but I am so fertile anyway, that I am afraid of the results. I had my first 3 children in 2 years, 2 months, and 4 days. Thought I was done, got divorced and started seeing my husband, and then found out I was pregnant (while on oral birth control). Had her and she is now
2 1/2 years old. I got the mirena bc I wasn't quite ready to tie off the tubes. At the same time am not wanting to have another baby and it seemed like the best way to go, since I'm not good with oral birth control. Someone please help!

Thank you to all those who have posted above. I have had some of the symptoms (nauseau, moodiness, cravings, tiredness) and was wondering if I was pregnant. My doc has since told me it's nearly impossible but I had it removed yesterday anyway as we are now looking to start a family. I hope the symptoms will taper off as the residual effects of Mirena slowly dissipate. This is the second Mirena I've used and i've never had any side effects, until now. I must say it has mostly been worry-free and easy in that my periods stopped altogether so that for the last 6 years, i've not had my period at all. However I am glad i came across this as i will re-consider before using Mirena again given so many negative side effects are associated.

I'm really sorry to hear that you had to go through what you did but really glad you caught it in time before your health was seriously jeopardised. My doctor did tell me that on the rare chance that I did fall pregnant with a Mirena it would most likely be an ectopic pregnancy and that i would not be able to carry the baby to term. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing your story as it goes to show that it IS possible, however slim the chances and allows the rest of us to be especially careful and make sure we double, triple check to make sure we aren't pregnant. Your post could possibly save someone's life because if they do fall pregnant, at least they will know how critical it is that they get the help and attention they need. Thank you again.

i got my mirena inserted about a year ago, my periods stopped more or less straight away and i'll have a random couple of days where i spot. I have severe abdominal cramps everyday and my tummy is tender to touch- almost like a period pain. I also have a very painful pelvis and pubic bone, i wake up in pain, i become bloated after i eat. I dont know if its related to the IUS, but i started experiencing intense pain during sex so i went to the clinic and they said everything is in place. The thought of sex is painful because my lower abdomen hurts so much! I haven't had sex for about 3 months now- i dont even want to be touched down there anymore. I have a scan next month and hopefully that reveals the problem. When i told my gp all my problems and that i had an IUS all they did was harp on about chlymidia which i told them was an impossibility as both me and my partner have been together for 4 years since teens. The pain is getting worse and worse now- before it use to be just on waking up, but now i get it during the night. I doubt it is pregnancy as i havent had sex in such a long time and i think i'd be noticing other symptoms by now if i was 3 months pregnant. My weight is constantly fluctuating and since ive had it fitted i feel fatter and more tired all the time. I think the worry about all of it has probably made me more stressed and has added to the pain. I think it may be pelvic inflammatory disease, but hopefully everything will be revealed soon!

My son is 17 months old and I have the mirena. When I first got it I was spotting for 6 months straight but things wen back to normal after that for about 2 months then nothing at all. I recently started seeing someone and it ended up getting serious. Now I'm having all kinds og pregnacy symptoms. I'm always hungry. In the bathroom every 5 min whether its to pee orbecause I feel sick. And I've been getting the flutters in my stomach. I'm also anemic and with my son I couldn't keep my iron in control so I was always dizzy. Once I hadhim I wen back to normal. But the dizzy spells have started again. I wouldnt mind another baby. I'm just worried that the mirena would harm it if iam pregnant. Should I just get it taken out? Or should I wait and see.

I had the IUD for almost 4 years now, I started getting pregnancy symptoms a few months ago and since taken 2 home pregnancy tests, both negative. but now in the past 2 months, I've gone up 3 jean sizes, and the only place that looks like any weight was added is my stomache, I'd say that I look about 4 months pregnant, which is scary because thats about the time I started feeling like this. In the last 3 days, I started getting sharp stabbing pains that are almost continuous in my lower abdomen and its making me think about ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage...but then reading all pretty much the same stories from 2 different sites is making me think that *maybe* its just the mirena? this is driving me crazy, its weird seeing so many other women going through the same thing...I love the IUD and no periods for the time I've had it but I don't know how much longer I can go through with these symptoms. It would be nice to read about the outcomes of some of these stories, if you were actually pregnant or not... goodluck everyone!

I have the mirena a little over two years, i had a period for as long as 8months not spotting, a super tampon plus a pad and two pairs of undeerwwear! I'm 18 now. The beginning experience was awful cramping was bad for the first week and gradually got better. They litterally had to diallete my cervix to insert the mirena. I have beeen golden ever since. I have been extremely hypersentive to yeast and occasional spot. For the first 6 months of the mirena monthy cramping. Now never I recommend. But like you send with Your post. I'm sorry i think your pregant seek medical attention rright away because you could be 3 months or even an ectopic pregnancy which can cause the weird cravings. Or some woman minds play tricks on them, to think they are pregnant. Its cause by the hormones releasing each month and the brain especially the pariental lobe of the brain and frontal lobe. GoodLuck

I have all of the same syptoms (symptoms) as you right now. I took 2 HPT (yesterday morning and the preivous afternoon) that both came back neg. I still feel as though something is not as it seems. I have had 2 children already and know what my body feels like when I am pregnant. I did go to the Dr. yesterday and gave blood for further tests. I should hear back today soon so I can keep you posted.

I am pretty sure that you can consitantly get "pregnant" on mirena but it makes your uterus lineing so thing that it can not attach...there for causing you to feel the beging stages of pregnancy and then goes away. I feel like I have expierenced this cycle over the past two years, feeling pregnant and then not on and off. It is starting to bother me because it is as though I am just having miss-cariages all the time. Has anyone ever heard this explanation before????

I have heard this before. I have now been to the DR 3 times, have given 7 tubes of blood and they still don't know what is wrong with me. I made an appointment for Tuesday to get the IUD removed because I still feel as if i am pregnant. I mean, my stomach even looks pregnant, i can't keep sucking it in because it is really starting to become uncomfortable and harder to do as it is just growing and growing. I can let you know what the DR says when I see him on Tuesday?!
