I have the mirena and love it because I have only had 1 period in almost 8 months... but... even though I know it's normal not to get periods with the mirena I'm feeling a bit worried that maybe I'm pregnant. My boobs have gotten firm and full again and my lower tummy and just above my pubic bone feels tender and I have been unusually tired. Also I keep feeling flutters on a daily basis. Please preglies assure me this is just my body/hormones being crazy. I know all of these things can be totally normal but I just want some reassurance. I would normally just poas but my car is currently off the road so I would have to go to the shop with my so and I DO NOT want him to know I'm worried at all because then he will stress and make me panic more. Having another child is not an option for us. Also I Googled the stats on getting pregnant with a properly inserted mirena and the statistics are way higher than I thought!!!

    I absolutely loved my Iud and had no problems with it for a while. With that being said I got pregnant with my Iud in, when they removed it, I lost the baby. I thought it was a one time thing and loved my Iud so much I got another one put in. I lost another baby, and now have a 4 month old. I'm so sorry please test, the sooner the better.

    @heather3rdgirl I'm so sorry for your losses. I will bite the bullet and go buy a test in the morning. Thank you for sharing your story or I probably would have just kept waiting

    @ourlittlenugget I will be ordering some online so I have some in the cupboard for if this happens again. Going to buy one from the store tomorrow and take it right away though.

    @salasmommy I thought the iud if it doesn't move had a great success rate for preventing pregnancy... wasn't till I specifically looked up getting pregnant with the iud still properly fitted that I realised just how many people are getting pregnant still. The makers of the mirena say 2 in 1000 women still get pregnant but I think those statistics may be wrong

    Thank you. I just know from experience that the further along you get with one in the more risk it can cause to you and baby. I know its not something you want/need right now however it could really hurt you or baby if you just wait it out. Please let me know the outcome. Good Luck!

    I will update and tag you tomorrow. I think part of me just doesn't want to know because if I am I know what my partners reaction will be. He doesn't want more children. Between us we have 4 under 5yrs already and another child just isn't possible. I don't want to be faced with having to choose a termination or adoption because I know I'm not strong enough for either. @heather3rdgirl

    O trust me I know how you feel. So sorry to not give you the simple answer you wanted.

    @heather3rdgirl im sorry for your losses. Thabk you for Sharing your experiences. My OB is trying to talk me into an IUD instead of getting my tubes tied.

    @tinka1326 hope you get the results you want!

    @1stWoodsBaby Glad I can help, I think lol

    I loved my Iud not everyone has the experience I did. We just know it doesn't work for us.
  • 1stWoodsBaby1stWoodsBaby
    @heather3rdgirl i dont want to take ANY chances! We habe been married almost 2 yrs. We got pregnant 30 days after marriage and then 3 months after having our first. So we are fertile mertiles. Lol. Our kids will be 11 months apart. A boy and girl. That's enough for me.

    @1stWoodsBaby Yeah we are too, that's why I didn't get it another one, after our last one has been born. However I am breastfeeding, on the pill and we use condoms 99% of the time and I just had a miscarriage again. Ugh sucks to get prego so easy. I wish I could bottle it, and it to a couple who try and try and try, you know. :)

    Just so you ladies know, an IUD keeps a baby from implanting in your uterus. So you can get pregnant many times & the baby just can't survive. So many people don't know this & I just wanted to mention it in case it would bother you. (some people it doesn't bother them)

    For me personally, I could never morally use an IUD, but each person should make their own decision, & I respect that. It just bothers me that the professionals don't tell you.

    I hope you get the test results you want tomorrow though, you sound like one busy mama! :)
  • WilsomomWilsomom
    Captivated knows about this too & she could probably give you more statistics and research than I can lol
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    I would love to use something that's not so morally wrong but I got pregnant on the pill so that's not an option. I would get my tubes tied but I'm only 25 and have only had 2 children myself so they won't do it. I didn't know about the possible fertilization of eggs till I started looking today. I will be going to the shops in a few hours for a test. Will tag everyone when (fingers crossed) I get a bfn.
  • WilsomomWilsomom
    Maybe you could do natural family planning too (no sex during ovulation) as a back up. That sucks though because that's when a woman has the highest libido! Lol

    Fingers crossed for you, I know it's nerve racking, whether hoping for a bfp or bfn. :)
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    @wilsomom how would I be able to try to track ovulation when I don't have periods?
    I feel nauseous just at the thought of buying a test. I'm probably just getting myself all worked up for nothing lol
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    @wilsomom @heather3rdgirl @1stwoodsbaby took a test and it was negative. So relieved!!! Thinking I might try talking to my doctor again about getting my tubes done
  • Heather3girls1boyHeather3girls1boy
    That's good, sounds like you have a good plan in mind!

    @Mama_Kat should see what I can do in person lol. I am just really having a positive day today after chatting with some mates I haven't seen in years.
  • WilsomomWilsomom
    Didn't think about that...lol (no periods) :/
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    @dadof2n1togo ... I ran across a police officer today... would love your opinion on what happened... I was a bit naughty on my way home and apparently I was doing 72 in a 60 zone... so I got pulled over no problems it was my own fault but I was lucky and he just warned me... but we have an alcohol interlock system fitted to the car registered in my name but the system is for my partner (dumb ass got done for failing to provide a sample at a drug and alcohol stop before we met) anyway this officer asked why I had p plates up on the car when I have a full license. I explained I rarely drive the car as it's my partners and with his provisional license he needs to display p plates... we were told this in person by motor reg and in one of their pamphlets... the officer said since my partner doesn't need plates if we couldn't prove that he needed them he could be fined for it... so what do we do now because either way if he gets pulled over by an officer who thinks he should be doing the opposite to what he is he loses his licence again... who the would I get in contact with to confirm we are doing the right thing... (and yes I know it's naughty for me to drive when they are on the car... I just forget about the stupid things!!!)
    If you have no advice that's no big deal I feel better after venting anyway lol... cos after all that Isat in the car for 15 mins with the headlights on talking to the officer and flattened the car battery... apparent my partner knew the battery was a bit buggered but never bothered to mention it lol
  • dadof2n1togodadof2n1togo
    Depends if he's on a p1 or p2 licence really. Transport sa should be able to advise you as to which his licence is or local pig pen should be able to direct you to.

    @dadof2n1togo your a gem... thanx poppet!! Had nothing but drama with the whole system because every person tells you something different
