I’ve missed two periods, last weekend I had really light bleeding, very pink and not red, it was so light that I didn’t need to use a pad or anything (only there when I wiped) I have sore boobs, very emotional, bloating, I have had some wicked headaches this week :(
I’ve done 5 pregnancy tests over the last three weeks and all have come back negative. I’m so confused..
I must add that I have the Mirena coil in, its been in situ for 4years and 9 months so its very close to the end of its life, I’ve not had a days issue with it since having it put in. I’m not sure how I would feel if tests had come back positive, but the longer this goes on, the more I kind of want it??? I’m so confused over this all :(

Lots of women report pregnancy symptoms on mirena and it could be the change in hormone levels caused by it being near the end of its effective use. Pregnant enough for pregnancy symptoms is pregnant enough for a positive test.

I’ve never had pregnancy symptoms with the Mirena before, but after reading your comments I googled it and to my surprise a lot of women feel pregnant with it,, I never realised..
maybe you are right, it maybe my hormones playing up due to it being near the end of its life, thank you for your comment, I will book an appointment for the doctors next week and hopefully they can sort this out, I really don’t like feeling like I do.

How's everyone doing? I know only a week or so has passed but does anyone else feel it's longer??? Like every day I'm wondering when my period is coming back!

I was away from Friday to Monday last week on a hen do. DS got on fine with his dad and food and water. I got a bit uncomfortable come Saturday. Pumping was only making matters worse so I took to hand expressing for comfort in the bath. I was hoping almost 4 days without BFing would kick start things but since I've been home he's feeding non stop so it I'm guessing not now!

Gilly - th nly reason I know that is because I've been hanging out on this board TTC for WAY TOO LONG!!!

I hope it happens for you soon, I really do.. I have been reading some of the posts on here and some of the conversations are truly heartbreaking,, it can be so difficult for some to conceive, I can only imagine how it feels for some,, fingers crossed for you Hun
