Mirena IUD and possible pregnancy

I had the Mirena since 2007 and had no period until we started trying to conceive my little one. I had one period and bam pregnant right away. Had baby in 2012 and had Mirena placed back in at the normal 6weeks post baby. Then I started to have periods on and off. November 2012-May 2013 Periods have been like clock work every 18th of the month. Question: June I have not had my period yet and I am peeing a lot more than usual and cravings too along with book worthy weird dreams. Is it possible to be pregnant on the Mirena? I am on some strong meds too so I am a bit stressed. I took pregnancy tests twice when I was injured and in the hospital this past weekend and they were negative. So any sorta feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
  I was going to wait till this weekend and take another test becuase then I would be close to 2 weeks late. What do you all think?

I got pregnant with my daughter on mirena, I went to have it removed cause we were going to start trying & my dr did an ultrasound to see where it was cause the string was curved up and well I was pregnant, luckily they were able to remove it with out any issues for me or baby. But I hated the mirena I got severe massive ovarian cysts & luckily I got it out when I did cause it was starting to embed into my c section uterine scar, I tried a paraguard also and hated that too I was having a reaction to the small amount of copper it gives off

The Mirena is supposed to stop periods but I had to have mine removed after 1 year because if ****** up my uterus and rendered me to have an "incompetent uterus" I mean my uterus is nothing but scar tissue idk how I've gotten pregnant twice after that. But yes it's very common to get pregnant on the mirena

When I was on mire a I would have pregnant symptoms as well but a tests always negative. So your probably not pregnant but if you feel like you are take a test to ease your mind.

Yes it is possible. I would go to the doctor and get a blood test. Especially because you have the mirena. The IUD could really effect your pregnancy.
