Hello Ladies,
I found this board while trying to do some research on Mirena and pregnancy. I've read through all the archives that have had these keywords in it, and still don't feel I've answered my own curiousity.
I had Mirena inserted after the birth of my 3rd daughter in Feb of '04 (2.5 years ago)I started out w/ cramping and lots of spotting/bleeding that eventually ended and I didn't have any period, just an occasional spot. Aprox a year- 1.5 years ago, I started back to a regular period, very light, but regular. I assumed that I would continue to bleed lightly once per month, but I have not had a period since June now. I didn't think much of it, at first, but then became concerned after battling a possible stomach bug for over a week... took a HPT and it was neg. That was over a month ago, and I still have not had a period. I *feel* pregnant, but I know the chances are SO SLIM. I did lose about 30 lbs this last year, and I have read that weight loss can cause the IUD to slip out of place. I really want to call my OB and ask for a blood pg test, but feel foolish when the odds are so slim (esp w/ the neg HTP) I've never had a problem w/ false neg HTP's (as I know some of my friends have) BUT, I thought I had read somewhere that the hormone in Mirena can cause a false neg... anyone know?
Thanks =)
