Mirena coil and pregnant? Scared!

I've had the mirena since Feb.. other than sore boobs mid cycle it's been ok.
I last had my period around 2 weeks ago, but I swear I have every pregnancy symptom going.
Nausea, hunger even when I've eaten, mood swings, heavy sore boobs, need to wee all the time, bloating and constipation, aversion to smells.
I did a test and it was negative. Anyone else has similar symptoms with the mirena?

Omg. I hated the bloody thing. Thought I was pregnant every month!!! I had it removed after six months as I did not get on well with it. I visibly noticed when it was taken out although it was in the right place. Another friend got on really well but felt pregnant every six months or so. Other friends have got on perfectly well.

But yes, par for the course unfortunately.

@Scalessayeek that makes me feel better! It's just so strange I've had no issues really until now after 6 months of having it in.
Honestly I feel absolutely awful! X

This. Exactly my experience too. I was so bloated with it that I looked 5 months pregnant! My periods stopped as well, which didn't help with the pregnancy panic every month. I had it taken out after about 10 months. I think some people must just be more sensitive to the hormones.
