pregnant with Mirena?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Hey, it's been a while since I've been on here. But here's what is going on: I've had the Mirena for about 7 months. I've had no problems so far. I also haven't had a period yet I'm breastfeeding too. Lately I have been having pregnancy symptoms, frequent urination, weight gain, nausea, sensitivity to smells, cramps, all that fun stuff. Also my husband couldn't feel the strings before and now he can sometimes. I took a pregnancy test 2 weeks ago and it came up negative. Should I take another test? It's hard to tell cause I don't get my period. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I would call my doctor, but I currently don't have insurance. Should I go in anyway and just pay out of pocket?

    The same thing just happened to me!  I POAS, and thankfully got a negative. I got my period like 2 weeks later. I'd POAS again, but keep in mind that some of Mirena's side effects are that it basically mimics pregnancy-bloating, cramping, breast tend

    Not to hijack a thread, but where do you get these great deals on pregnancy tests? I feel like I'm getting ripped off at the drugstore.

    I bought a 25 pack of Wondfo HPT strips on Amazon for $12 and test every couple of months.

    Between breastfeeding and Mirena it is not unusual to have not had a period. As PP said, the symptoms you describe are pretty typical not only for Mirena,

    I was on the mini pill for 3 years and depo for 2 which are similar hormones, and both times, after a year or so on them, my cycle (which had disappeared for some time) came back, as did PMS symptoms.
