if i'm having period symptoms, shouldn't i be getting my period?

Question

i've been PMSing for almost 2 weeks now! i usually did it for 1 week. but i still haven't gotten my period. this is very frustrating, and i'm very late getting it anyways. my LMP was july. i'm on the merina IUD, so this is one of the side effects, but i would think that if i'm having PMS symptoms i should have a period. my other concern is that my strings have shortened. i have an appt with my GYN for the begining of Jan, but i'd kind of like a heads up as to what may be going on. anybody have any ideas?

and in the begining of the sympotms i too two HPTs, both (-).

Answer 1

Yes, this could be a side effect of the Mirena but I would recommend calling your doctor's office before the first part of Jan to see what your doctor says.
