Falling pregnant with the mirena coil????

[Sparkle123]

Hi Everyone

Im new here.. have a bit of a dilemma.

Am on my second Mirena coil, had the first one put in 2001 after the birth of my daughter.. It was taken out in Feb this year as i developed PID from it. Had severe periods until i convinced my GP to put another one in 9 weeks ago.

Had my period 3 weeks after having it put in which was as normal as ever as it takes me about 6 months for it to cut the bleeding down.

Had my second period or what ever was of it.. on the 1st September (i have a 21 day cycle)but it was more like spotting then had 2 days of bleeding which wasn't even worth the energy as it wasn't really anything and came off after a bit more spotting.

Have no idea if this is anything to do with it but i had a coughing fit 2 weeks ago and the pain in my stomach was so intense i couldnt move and felt like i was being stabbed for a week after!!

I Have been experiencing severe exhaustion and constant nausea and a cross between diaorrhea and constipation for 2 weeks now and am getting really fed up with it. I went to my GP's at the beginning of the week and was told that i should take a pg test to be on the safe side. Told the gp id have to wait as with my daughter it didnt show up until 3 weeks after my period was due.

Has anyone else had these symptoms with the mirena and actually ended up pregnant as i dont think im that unlucky to be the 1%??

hi ladies hope someone will be able to help with my questions.

I had the mirena fitted in january 2011 as i was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and suffered rom very painful and long heavy periods.

I have put on nearly 2 stones since January and am just continuing to put on weight no matter what diet i am on !?!? will this ever stop ??

I havent actually had a period since it was fitted which at first i thought was brilliant except i get the normal period symptoms for 3 weeks of the month instead , bloating, feeling hungry, miserable etc !!

Me and My partner want to start trying for a baby soon and i'm aware it could be difficult anyway with my condition but does it usually take a long time for your body and hormones to go back to normal once it is removed like the pill ?

I currently have Mirena and have had the same symptoms that everyone else is having. I thought that it could be a problem with cysts, considering my family history. I have been spotting frequently for months. On two occasions the spotted was very heavy and painful (and scary). Considering what everyone else has written, I'm starting to believe that those could have been miscarriages. Ultrasounds show that Mirena has been dislodged and now rests completely on my left side. Some times I have really bad pain on that side, I'm sure that's why. My doctor has put me on estrogen to stop the spotting when it occurs, but the prescription is very expensive. My husband and I are ready to just take it out and try something else. I just hate that we have to do this since for the first couple of years it worked great. I have had it for 3 years now and I'm done. I will NEVER recommend it to anyone else. I've been putting off the removal, but based on these postings, I've put it off long enough.

I have been on the coil for 5 months and had regular periods every month until now. I'm 12 days late and having pressure and stabbing pains in my lower abdomen feeling sick and swore breasts. I am really bloated and very uncomfortable. I checked for the cords of my coil but can't find them and since having it put in I haven't had it checked by my doctor. My friends are scaring me saying I could be pregnant. I don't know what to do can anyone help me?!

[bugsylugs]

Do a pregnancy test in the morning with first wee. If neg and you still cannot feel the threads book appt to see nurse / Dr so they can have a look. Dr do not need to check mirena is in after it has been inserted. Every women who has one should check for the thread as soon as period has finished every single month. They can come out with the flow and can move. Good luck

[amzie121]

Still no period and still getting all the same pains. Got a doctors appointment booked for tuesday so will hopefully find out. Did two tests and both neg but haven't done 1 since tuesday so will do another on the morning before the doctors!

im only 17, i got the implant 2 year ago for contraception with my long term boyfriend, i got rid of that because i was constantly on my periods and had to take the pill aswell as the implant, so i got the marina coil fitted about 5 weeks ago, the doctors didnt say when i could have sex, i ended up doing it 6 days after getting the coil ever since ive started getting wierd thigs like really bad heart burn for at least 5 days running, migranes really bad, feeling really sick on a morning but not acually being sick, im just abit worried if i gt a pg test would it show up. im scared x

[billi1]

and i still havnt had one sign of a period yet too x

am 18 years old and in a healthy relationship i had the coil fitted 10th may 2012. waited 2-3 weeks like my doc said to have sex. me and my boyfriend had sex and now weird things are happening and I'm worried i maybe pregnant. i did fall pregnant 2 years ago and miscarried and i am feeling how i felt couple of years ago. my doc said i should come on my period like normal first couple of months with the coil. i haven't come on yet. i am having cramps back ache my breasts are sore and I'm tired and tonight i just just had diarrhoea but it was just once. my boyfriend keeps saying that I'm not pregnant and just over worrying but I'm scared to tell my mum just incase she tells me I'm being stupid as she has had the coil twice now and hasn't fallen pregnant. I'm starting to worry now as i really don't want to be pregnant! i know pregnancy can happen on the coil and can be dangerous but can someone please tell me I'm just over reacting!

[Just5minspeace]

Try not to worry but get yourself a test tomorrow. Once you know you can take it from there. It would be unlucky. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi all.
Yesterday I discovered I was pregnant, despite having the mirena coil!!
I swiftly had it removed.
What can I expect now?
Is miscarriage inevitable and imminent?
Any experience of this on here? Hospital vague am freaking out a little over whole thing
Thanks ladies
So ps yes it is possible to conceive with the mirena coil. And I'm 38!!

Hi I'm new to this... I've not been pg before however I've been on the merina coil since march 2011, and at first it was great i didnt get periods or if i did they were fine but recently I've started gaining weight, my breasts are noticeably bigger and have been sore, I feel sick but haven't thrown up, I get pains in my stomach and sides and have very irregular spotting and i never have a regular period, also I get quite a lot of headaches and been getting mood swings lately oh and another thing is I sometimes have shooting pains during sex and recently found that sex seems to cause spotting.... I'm getting quite concerned and was wondering if anyone has had any of this and what to do ?? :s thanks

[ShortyNTS]

Hi, I'm new here to!
And I with I had done my research before having my marina coil fitted, it was fitted on 14 sept, x2 periods later on a regular 28 day cycle, I have found out I am pregnant. To say that I am not impressed does not cover it, as I have a 5 month old now.
I have been scanned, prodded, poked and operated on due to the hospital thinking it was ectopic an the coil has been removed, but found nothing. But then they still can not locate the pregnancy. However I am feeling slightly upset, my hospital seem to be pleased for me that I am pregnant, like I was planning it on the coil!? My husband an I are not against keeping or terminating the pregnancy, but we want to know the risks for both options, can anyone advise?
Many thanks

Hi,

I've had my coil since February last year. I've been having pains since about June. I've been back to my local clinic about 2-3 times a month and they pass me around then tell me to wait a couple of months and see how it goes. I miscarried 2 years ago, and kinda still remember what it felt like to be pregnant, I'm having all these same feelings I did last time, except I have really sharp shooting pains. Finally after a year of the pain my GP has agreed to remove it, as I have picked up countless infections since having it put in, I've had one partner since having it in, and we're both loyal and haven't cheated, unfortunately the GP doesn't know what the problem is, and there is no way of checking whether it is the coil causing the pain until it is removed! Reading through all the comments, I've seen that this problem is common! Both me and my partner are too young to have a child, but could it be the hormones that is causing the problem?

Any help would be great! Thanks.

My boobs are very sore and fuller , no sickness but loosing thick white mucus . I keep getting niggly pains in my right side but nothing too painfull . I'm worried I'm pregnant test shown negative . But friends are saying I'm showing signs of pregnancy .

Hi there,

I've had my coil in for just over 4years.. I have tried most contraceptives but nothing seemed to agree with me until this, 3 different pills that I couldn't keep down, injection with was terrible depression and cyst on my ovaries, implant which gave me non stop bleeding and condoms gave me infections.. This has been a nonstop trial for over 10 years.. They have slightly worked seeing as I don't have any children so I try not complain too much - however getting back to my point.. Coil in 4 years and not one period, not any problems until recently I've been having stomach cramps (2weeks) and I strangly had a full blood period with horrendous pain.. I called the out of hours doctors and they don't really help too much.. Just told me to use condoms that don't have the latex on...... This hasn't really helped me.. Just wondering if anybody has experienced the same and if so what is it.. I'm due for a smear test, should I get then to look or do they do that anyway? Sorry about the long message. X
