Question about Mirena and Pregnancy

OK.. A little history... Last Saturday.. I had some light Cramping... And then on Tuesday to Wednesday Morning.. i had some light spotting..( I NEVER spot before I get my period.. But I did just have a Baby April 3 2006...) On Thursday.. I went for my 6wk Checkup and to Have my Mirena inserted... I told My Dr. about the Cramping and Very light spotting, and she didnt seem concerned.. she said my Urine Pregnancy test came up negative, So I was fine...


I had Mirena inserted... But I still cant get the thought out of my head that I amy be pregnant... Does that sound like implantation bleeding?? i never had it with Either of my children and I still think it would be too early to test...


And if I am pregnant... Is it a big possibility that I will have a miscarraige... I Lost my DD, Alyssa, March 2005... At 9wks of Age.. So I would absolutely be devistated... but then again.. I dont think we could afford another one...


Oh.... We did use condoms everytime... But 2times we didnt for like the first 2 mins... It totally slipped our minds... (im sure someone can understand that... Especially with a newborn and being Very sleep deprived) We have had many issues with him.. Well, I hope someone can help!!! And TIA!!!

I don't know if you are breastfeeding or not, but if you are, then that would have reduced your chances of becoming pregnant, as prolactin, which is produced while breastfeeding, usually suppresses ovulation.


It is likely that your cycles are messed up from having the baby, and is not a sign of pregnancy - especially seeing as your doctor took a pregnancy test and it was negative.
