Can you become pregnant with an IUD inserted and still be having heavy periods

i am having a problem I have three childern, I am also so very young and had a paragaurd IUD in place after my third child becaude the doctors would not tie my tubes. I enjoy being a mother but I am feeling like I may be pregnant again. My feelings in the past has always been right. I could tell I was pregnant before the pregnant test showed I was.  The thing is  my last period was unusally light and this month it is increasingly heavy to the point I think they may be something wrong because I have never had a period that is this heavy .

I too have the Mirena IUD and have had it for 3 years. I think if a pregnancy makes it after the IUD is removed the baby will be fine.

I have not had a regular period since I have had the IUD and am currently experiencing swollen genitals, extreme exhaustion, breast tenderness, and even leaky breasts. I am a mother of two and wonder if the leaky breasts is normal, something just left over from my youngest, he is 3?! I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, but I just don't feel quite right. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I currently have a IUD (Mirena) inserted I've had it now for about 6months. I would like to know if you could become pregnant with this inserted and actually have the baby without any Mental problems and just any problems in general

I have had an IUD for a year now and have never been pregnant before, but lately I have gained weight, have constant cravings for salt, can't seem to get out of bed in the morning, have insane mood swings, and the strangest part is for the past couple of days I have been having these horrible dizzy spells. I keep having normal periods and have suffered from depression in the past so I didn't think much about it until the dizzy spells started. I just came off Lexapro (anti-depressant) a few weeks ago so I am guessing these symptoms could be attributed to that, but in the back of my mind I am terrified that I could be pregnant.

I have had an IUD for three years and have always been regular. Last month I missed my period and still havent gotten it. I have taken a couple pregnancy tests but they say negative. Is this normal has anyone else had this probelm or is it still to early to tell if I am pregnant? A lot of places that I have read most women with the IUD found out they were pregnant after six weeks. I have a three year old daughter which I conceived during my period. So could it be just to soon to tell? Please help.

Hello,
My name is Holly. I am 20 years old. I am planning on going off the pill (i have been on it for 3 years now) in November. I hope to get pregnant right away so I can give the news to my in-laws and my parents as an xmas gift. Do people usually have problems conceiving the first few months they go off the pill? How does it work? I also want to lose weight before I have a baby. As it is I am not comfortable in my skin. If anyone has suggestions or would like to chat, please email me at butterfly_baybee2005***@**** I will respond to everyone!
Also, will you only conceive on certain days of the month? I can use as much information as I can
