Pregnant with IUD??

I have had the IUD for 7 months now. When I first got it I had some heavy bleeding, but that soon subsided. Normally I get like a 3 day light period..However, I have not had a period in 2 months now. I know it's normal for some people with an IUD to stop menstrating all togeather, until IUD is out...Should I be worried about pregnancy?? What's my chances??Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

I had my mirena inserted 02/2009. So far so good, I have had little to no periods or spotting and recently I started to feel movements in my belly as if I am pregnant. I took 3 HcG test and they all came back wit negative results. So after googling a couple things I decided to get my Mirena strings checked and to have a blood hcg test done. I still feel these movements that are so familiar from my previous pregnancies. They are mainly in the lower part of my tummy. Well today I called the Nurse for lab results and they came back negative also. So 3urine test and blood test later I currently still feel like I'm pregnant. Its very irritating b/c do I take the facts as they are and move on? But what if all the test where done too early? Is that even possible? To feel kicks and not have enough hormones to show on a test? Any advise?

I have had my mirena for almost two years now my husband and I weren't planning on having anymore children for 3 or 4 years. I have not had a "real" period since getting it and last month I had a period then I was off of my period for a week and began spotting and now I have been spotting off and on for about two months. Also I am crying over every little thing that happens. I took two pregnancy tests and they both were negative. I am thinking I may be pregnant is this possible?

I have had my IUD for nearly a year now. No children just wanted the best form of birth control I could get.  I stopped having a "period" 3 months after getting the IUD placed.  Last month I had some very very minimal spotting but I became very fatigued, nauseas, my vaginal odor changed from non existent to a noticeable smell, not bad just different and my breast are swollen, tender and have grown about half a cup size.  I'm scared to take a test, what are the chances I could be pregnant?  Has this happened to anyone that also has Mirena? HELP!

I had my COPPER IUD put in 2 years ago, and we're currently 26 weeks pregnant with no complications. When we removed the IUD, my doctor couldn't believe it was perfectly in place and there we were, pregnant.
Like someone before me said, no birth control is 100%
