I POAS today

Totally negative. Thank god.
My periods were a bit funny when I first started Mirena, but they settled down after a couple of months and have been mostly routine since then. But this last one...I've had over 2 weeks of spotting, with a random day of very light flow here and there, enough to weird me out.
Since I spotted with both pregnancies, I got all freaked out and neurotic and worried that I might somehow be knocked up, so I POAS even though I was 99% sure I wasn't. Never been so glad to fail a test!
I am so sick of this freaking IUD - between the weird cycles, the insane excess of CM (sorry, TMI I know), and the fact that it's basically taken my libido out behind the barn and shot it, I want it GONE. Ben has volunteered to have the big snip in the near future, so when he does, I'm planning to ditch Mirena and go on the pill as a back-up measure. No more kids for this mama!

Re: I POAS today
Oh my gosh, so did I this week!!! I had the exact same symptoms.....spotted a little, have had crazy CM, and the kicker was that I felt a little nauseated the other day. I mentioned it to MH, and he freaked out! We went and bought a stick, but it, too, was negative. It was scary, though, but I imagine even more scary for you, seeing as you do not want more kids. We do, just not yet.
I agree, Mirena is working out okay for me, but it is starting to make me too nervous. I don't like not getting a period at all but then having random spotting occasionally.
haha, glad it was negative!
and i don't think i ever responded to your previous post about how to get a guy to volunteer for a vasectomy but it did make me laugh

I first saw the title of this post and was like WHOAH!!!! Glad to hear it was negative
My SIL was on Miena and hated it! She ended up getting it out and her hubby got the big snip. I'm still trying to decide which birth control I'm going to use. I don't wan't to be on the pill, but don't want an IUD either. Who knows.

I had Implanon before TTC, and it was pretty good except that I had a lot of difficulty losing weight while on it (apparently this is relatively uncommon though, so it probably wouldn't happen to you). But if it wasn't for that, I'd happily have gotten that again.
Yikes, that's one test I'll be glad to fail for the next 10 months or so
G is 7 weeks old and we still haven't had sex because I just started spotting and having CM... WTF? I'm totally EBF AND pumping!!
I was BFing and pumping at that point as well and I'm still 99% sure I ovulated after my pp bleeding stopped. It's one of thoses. It's things that affects some women but not others - go figure!
This!
Remember I only had one period while EBF Bella and then nothing... then a few months later a BFP then my miscarriage... then a couple of months later another BFP= Grayson!! That's why I'm nervous, I was clearly o'ing with no period!
