Pregnant on Mirena?

[Spoonjar]

Name changed for this. To cut to the chase I have had Mirena for just over a year. I still get periods albeit very light and not particularly regularly. I realised that I am slightly late even while irregular and feel quite bloated and a bit foggy. So I ordered some cheapies yesterday. They came this afternoon and I did one and it was positive. Waited until the next time I needed the loo and it was negative. My mind is all over the place. I’m 42. I have a history of infertility! Have children already who were hard to conceive but we were very very much done.
I’n going to not drink anything and do another test as soon as I can. In the morning I can go out and get a branded one straight after the school run.
I don’t know why I’m posting. I don’t want to mention anything to my husband yet as I don’t want his mind to have to do all the gymnastics mine is until I’m more sure.
Obvs if the next one is pos I will have to get the Mirena out asap

I don't think they remove the Mirena if you are, they need to open the cervix to do that and I thought that would cause a pregnancy damage?

Can you still feel the coil strings out have they /it moved?
A branded test isn't necessarily better. If you buy more, go for ones with pink dye. I used Asda cheap treats, 2 for £1 and pink dye (about a decade ago though) with my second child and got accurate positive results.

I hope you get the outcome you want.

I have an older family friend in her 70s who got pregnant with a coil. The doctors wouldn’t remove it so she went to full term with her coil still in place.

Thank you. When I said branded tests I meant not the cheapo £3 for 10 kind. They’ve always been reliable for me in the past, having got through literally hundreds during infertility. But having read the reviews on the ones I got, quite a few people talk about false positives. Given my age and history and the fact I have extremely reliable contraception in situ I think it is incredibly unlikely I am pregnant.

I did two more yesterday which were negative. One this morning with FMU which is positive but very faint. It worries me about ectopic as that’s a risk with Mirena. I’ll go to the shop this morning and see what a shop bought one says. I don’t have an Asda. I’ve got Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
