IUD pregnancy????
I'm not quiet sure where to post this question, it's been awhile since I've been on thebump. (DS is almost 9 months old, therefore, it's been about 9 months). I have an IUD (Mirena) and I've been getting alot of pregnancy-like symptoms (Nausea, tender breasts, frequent urination, etc), but I've been having some cramping and some red/pinkish/brownish spotting. I haven't had a period since before DS was concieved, and I bled from the Mirena for about 9 weeks. I've taken a pregnancy test, which was negative. I guess my actual question is, Has anyone gotten pregnant on Mirena? If so, how were you able to tell? (Same symptoms as a "normal" pregnancy?). Am I just testing too early? I never had any noticable symptom with DS or DD....Any advice would be wonderful!!!
Re: IUD pregnancy????
You're in my T & Ps! I have no firsthand knowledge besides what I know of what happened with my friend (with health risks). They were able to remove the IUD and the baby was fine.
I don't think we are going to be able to tell you what you want to hear. You need to call your Dr. and get in right away- even if it turns out nothing is wrong, it will make you feel better.
defniitely call your provider.
i was pregnant briefly last fall with the paragard IUD. i didn't know until i m/c'd and based on my symptoms and the sketchy hpt results (bfp, then bfn twice in a span of 36hrs) that it was likely i had an ectopic.
ectopics often don't show up on hpt nearly as early as intrauterine pregnancies.
please go check! and let us know! will be thinking about you.
I PM'd you
You need to call your doctor.
My sister got pregnant with her 3rd while on a Mirena. She was nauseous, took a test, and it was positive. She still has the ultrasound picture of the 7w baby on one side of her uterus, and the Mirena next to it on the other side. They removed the Mirena that day, and told her she had roughly a 20% chance of miscarrying because of it. Did another ultrasound a week later, and baby was still growing. Grace will be 3 in July.
They say there is a 1% chance of pregnancy with IUD, and I'm 1 of those lucky ones. I am confirmed pregnant with HPT and blood work, but an ultrasound is not showing anything yet. My Hcg levels are a bit low, too. So, it's likely that it's either too early (not sure of LMP or OD because I didn't think I needed to track these now) or that I'm having a miscarriage.
Just wanted to say good luck and to let everyone else on this board know it's not impossible to get preg with IUD. My husband and I are in shock.
