Pregnancy on Merina IUD?

Question

I have been on Merina since May 2007, it is almost January and I have gotten sick to my stomach 4 times this week heartburn twice, period this month was "spotting" and usually i dont have a period at all when i am pregnant. I have already had 3 babies. Never had a period like this!?! I have been reading all this stuff about women thinking they are pregnant while having an iud but no one comes back to say if they were pregnant or not. I am scared any advice would be appreciated. Oh yeah, last months period started about Nov 22nd and was completely normal. Took two home tests yesterday and they said negative! Trying to debate on going to doctor.

Answer 1

The chance that you are pregnant with the Mirena is next to nil. The fact that you have taken two negative tests pretty much confirms that you aren't pregnant, so stop obsessing. It sounds like you want to be pregnant, do you??
The Mirena can cause weird periods, and even spotting. You can not have periods for a long time, and the suddenly have a random one out of nowhere. It's part of the package with it.
Heartburn can be explained away by many different things too, pregnancy is NOT the only reason why people get heartburn, even if for you it has been the only time you've gotten it in the past.
Chill out, you aren't pregnant. Go to the doctor if it makes you feel better. The Mirena is a very, very good method of birth control. Your chances of getting pregnant on it are next to nothing at all, it is extremely reliable. Relax.

Answer 2

No contraceptive is 100% effective, so you do have a chance of becoming pregnant whenever you have sex.

However you've had two negative tests, so you most likely are not pregnant.

If you are still doubtful, go see your doctor.

Answer 3

well i would recommend going to see your doctor. even if you aren't pregnant, iud's can have some nasty effects on the body and if you're having strange symptoms it's a good idea to get checked out.

Answer 4

confident, it remains achievable. and unsafe for the newborn.... if there is one. Have her get regarded at as quickly as achievable by utilising a knowledgeable OB/GYN if she truly believes she has morning affliction.
