Hello
So, I removed my mirena in Feb of this year and then had a slight bleed a few days later. I started tracking period type activity as I've had hugely irregular and awful periods in the past and was told I would have trouble conceiving. Have been on the mirena for just under 8 years.
I had a period in the last week of March - fine. Then nothing. PMS type symptoms in April - negative test. Nothing in May - more pms style symptoms, but another negative test. In the last few weeks the symptoms have gotten far worse, and so I took a test yesterday. And guess what - a BFP! Confirmed today with test #2 as I'm neurotic.
So; have GP apt on Weds. But what now? Everything I've read suggests that they date your pregnancy from the date of your last period, but I took pregnancy tests in between that and now which have been negative - effectively I've missed periods in April and May which even accounting for a long cycle means I'm significantly further along than I would have assumed - circa 9 weeks. Did I just skip a period and then get pregnant thus missing May or did I miss those periods because I was pregnant already?
How will they date it in the GP surgery? I'm seeing the women's health / antenatal lead.
The waiting is killing me. I don't want to be told that I'm then going to have to wait to see a midwife for another appointment!
On the plus side- I tortured myself for months with the mirena horror stories but there is hope, even when you've been told you will have problems.
Help and insight much appreciated!
