I asked this question on another board but im freaking out. I had Mirena put in last august. the beginning of my last mp was on March 5. I had brown spotting and a little bit of pink spotting around the time of this period. Im 2 weeks late and for the past 4 weeks I have been so nausious. I have been having abd cramping off and on every day. I have headaches and feeling exhausted to the max. this past week Ive been craving chocolate. And im starting to have food aversions. I feel bloated and my breasts feel swollen and sore. my hubby says im cranky lately. Does this sound like pregnancy? Can you get pregnant with Mirena? If anyone can give any advice this would be great.

I'd take a test if you're really worried. I haven't had a period since mine was put in in Feb. Can you still feel the strings? Do they feel like they're in the same spot? Yes there are women who get pregnant with it but it's the most effective form unless you have been sterilized.

From what I have read, it is not abnormal to stop having periods. I read that if you have gone 6 weeks without a period you should do a pregnancy test. If it is negative, then another pregnancy test is not required even if you don’t have another period. It is always ok to call your doctor to get checked out too.
Good luck!
