IUD with pregnancy symptoms, but negative test....HELP???

I had an IUD put in last Jan after I had my son and every month I have a period(I call it "what's the point period") but this month it hasn't come and I have sore boobs and they feel so heavy now and i'm dischargeing clearish stuff and i'm also having mild cramps off and on. Acouple of days ago I was having ligament pulling down below my belly if I moved wrong or if I sneezed, like I did when I was pregnant with my son. I think my last period was at the beginning of Oct. Well i took a test this morning when my hubby got up for work at 5:30 and it came out negative, could it have been to soon??? Please let me know what you guys think.

Hi
I'm 28 years old and this is my second Iud. The first iud I had no complications so I decided to put another one in 2010. My Iud will expire in 03/15. Recently I been experiencing tender breast, vomiting with almost every meal and very tired. Tired to the point that I fall asleep at work, not to mention my weight has been crazy. I have taken a a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. I feel tightness around my stomach with minor flutters. I recently had my anual and my strings were no where to be found so an ultrasound was ordered for me. Turns out I'm almost 16 weeks pregnant.

I was wondering what results you got?? I am 45 and on my 3rd Mirena...the first was put in at 6wk checkup after my daughters birth who is now 10. I had no problems or periods with my previous mirenas. Nor have I had any pregnancy scare or symptoms with my first 2 mirenas. I had this one put in around July 2013 and haven't had any issues with it until the last 1-2 months. Ive had nausea and all day sickness for the last 4 and a half weeks....breast soreness tenderness...frequent headaches...heartburn...back ache....leg and foot cramps...bloated tummy and for the last week I've had flutters and actual felt like kicking. I've got 2 kids my son is 21 and daughter is 10 so I know the symptoms well....I've taken home test that came back negative and because of my age and high risk pregnancy with my daughter I made dr appt with local dr to find out soon enough to be able to take proper precautions. They did urine and blood test that came back negative and she also checked to make sure it was still in place. This was 2 weeks ago and since have continued with vomiting 4-5 days a week, smells making me nauseaous daily and the feeling movement starting this past week. I was wondering what results you got so I know if I should see my obgyn for ultrasound or believe all my negatives and chalk it up to side effects from possible bad Mirena since first 2 were not this way. Any answers or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you have any negative home pregnancy test by any chance? I just keep feeling so pregnant and I had mirena before I had my son but I even feel movement sometimes and I've already take 3 test and they all were negative. Sorry to bother you and I wish you luck.

I have had the Mirena IUD for 1 year as of 12/10/13 and had 2 weeks bleeding, 2 weeks of freedeom followed by 6 weeks of bleeding. Dr. said it was just body adjusting to hormones and to give it some time. No bleeding until Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., (consisted of 2-4 days of light-med flow). Now in December expecting the same thing but had a yearly exam on 12/23 and doc cannot find strings (no surprise I could never either) so scheduled transvaginal u/s on 12/30. Before leaving to go to u/s appt. I had one bright red spot of blood when I wiped followed by a light pinkish tinged thinking I was starting my period. U/S tech said everything in place and I noticed there was some pinkish looking d/c on wand when removed. After this there was nothing more so I thought no more about it but the following week had major pregnancy symptoms and finally called the doctor on 1/7 and they had me take a home pregnancy test that came back faintly positive. Called doctors office and they scheduled me an appointment in a couple of weeks but today I am starting to bleed again and more than likely am having a miscarriage. I scheduled appt. to have this Mirena IUD removed immediately and going back to natural family planning. I just thought that this would be a better alternative while attending nursing school and boy was I wrong. Good luck ladies!!

I had mirena for 5 years and never had a period but I still felt when I ovulated.  this past august I had it taken out because I was at my 5 year mark. i had sex august 27th and on august 28th i had it removed and replaced with paragard. it took the doctor some time to place the paragard in after mirena was taken out.  since then i have had my period (lasting 2-3 days only).  I never went in for my post check up and i have been having pregnancy symptoms since September.  i  have 2 children and know the symptoms , however i have had negative hpts and regular periods every 28 days.  could i be pregnant?
