Pregnant with coil?

Hiya, i put this in Pregnancy last night but only 1 response so far so im posting for traffic. Working 12hr shifts next couple of days so looking for advice.

Hi, I've nc as don't want this linked to my previous threads, but I'm looking for some advice please?

I had the Mirena coil fitted in January 2021. (My 2nd one). I had light bleeding for around 6 weeks and have had nothing since, no periods at all.

For last 3 weeks my boobs have felt really heavy and sore, especially when taking ofd my bra. And my nipples have been really sensitive and like bullets I've also felt more tired than usual although I wouldn't quite describe it as fatigued.

I don't know if this is connected, but I've also had a lot of lower back pain lately. I have a history of this and see a chiropractor every 6 weeks, but I've noticed this time that the pain has returned much sooner than normal between treatments. Some shoulder pain also? Again, im not sure if this is connected?

Anyway. I took a Clear Blue test this evening. It came up as negative so after a few minutes i left it sitting then went back to it approximately 40 minutes later to see a positive. I've heard of evaporation lines but I'm not sure if this is what it is?

I took another test and kept it beside me for about 20 minutes, and nothing has come up at all.

I'm feeling really confused at the moment

For context, I'm 40. I have a 16 year old and have been with my current partner for 6 months. Neither of us are planning more children.

Do a test in the morning, the hormone levels are higher in overnight pee. Also, isn't there a risk of a coil pregnancy being ectopic or is that just the copper coil?

I posted something similar but got no replies. I know I'm not pregnant as DH had a vasectomy. I have the same symptoms you have, sore breasts, back pain, bloating, fatigue. I got the mirena fitted in April 2021 and had my last period in July. The mirena does not agree with me and I'm thinking of having it removed.

Oh, thanks for your replies already!

I didn't have any of these side effects with my last Mirena. Have had this one since Jan 2021 and I've only been experiencing this for a few weeks.

I'm sure I'll not be pregnant, but the test result is really confusing me and the sore boobs / nipples are driving me mad Sad i cant dry myself properly with a towel, just dab myself dry.

I really wish I could upload a photo of the test. I got the shock of my life when I saw it.
