Okay here's what I've been experiencing: I have a 9 month old daughter. I got Mirena when she was a little over 2 months old. I got a faint positive before I got it in but they said I was not pregnant when they did the test before they put it in. So that was fine and I had one period and one light period then none for the last 5 months or so. So I haven't thought much about it. But then the other day I was standing in my kitchen and I felt this weird movement in my lower stomach. It made me go WHOA! But, I just chalked it up to gas and didn't think too much else about it. But a little while later I had that unmistakable feeling like hiccups in my stomach. I mean I have only ever felt that rhythmic little heartbeat feeling when I was pregnant. So I quickly thought back on all the symptoms I have had over the last few months and attributed to the IUD (nausea, stomach cramps, sore breasts, headaches, and recently severe back pain out of no where). So I got a little worried and took a test. And I got a faint positive. But so faint I had to have other people tell me they saw it before I believed I saw it... Then today another one that looks more like an evap. I went to the doctor to have a blood test and they found out I had a uti as well. I have only had two uti my whole life and both of those were terrible! Nothing like this where I had no idea I had one at all... So basically now I'm just confused. I have felt this movement every day since it started last week and getting multiple faint positives has me freaking out. I know if I am pregnant I would have to be pretty far along like 3-5 months... So wouldn't a test be a lot positive? Or is there a point where you no longer get positives? Has anyone gone through something like this? I feel like I'm going crazy here...

    ...what? A positive test is a positive test. If you went to the doctor for bloodwork though, and it didn't come back confirming a pregnancy than I'm sorry, it doesn't sound like you're pregnant at this time. Otherwise, you should get a second opinion.

    RachelT1234: I agree. 

    Also, I am confused. You said you got a faint positive before Mirena when your daughter was 2 months old. Now she is 9 months old. If you were pregnant then, you would be 7 months along and definitely noticeable. Also, if you got blood work, they would have been able to tell if you were pregnant or not.

    For one thing this might be better asked on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd trimester boards, most women in this group haven't even started trying for a baby yet.
    Also, it's against the tou to ask us if you're pregnant, even in a roundabout way.
    Lastly, has your bloodwork come back yet? If your bloodwork came back indicating you aren't pregnant then you aren't pregnant.

    Sorry I missed that rule. No I'm waiting on the blood work I was just looking for some reassurance. If should be back today hopefully. The faint before I got it in was a blue dye so when they said I was not pregnant at the doctor I just figured it mustve been an evap. The ones I took recently were pink dye. But I guess I will just wait and see what I find out.

    I can't comment on your particular situation but blue dye tests are infamous for false positives. Try a pink dye test (like First Response) or wait for your blood results.

    Just passing through and I will say as a mom of a six month old that I sometimes get those feelings like kicks or hiccups, too. Doesn't hurt to get confirmation through blood tests, but the pregnancy symptom list matches a lot of non-pregnancy symptom lists, so I would not freak out over it.

    Phantom kicks etc. they are real. You are not pregnant.
