Mirena side effect?
Hello,
I had a mirena for 3 months. I bled for all three of those months and therefor had it removed in November. After having it removed my periods went back to normal. 2 weeks after having it removed, in December, I had a normal period. My period that was supposed to come in January was 10 days late and came at the beginning of February. It is now march and it has been two weeks since I was supposed to get my period. I had a VERY small amount of brown spotting a couple of days ago and now nothing. I took a pregnancy test last night and it was negative. What I want to know is, could this be a side effect of the mirena still? Could my cycle still be regulating itself? Or is it more likely that I am pregnant but had a false negative? I have had sore breasts, tingling nipples and fatigue. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for your advice. I still have not gotten my period, almost 4 weeks late, and have taken 3 pregnancy tests. I am fairly certain that I am not pregnant. Looks like I'll be going in.

Hello,
Delayed periods are mostly due to pregnancy. Hence 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.
