Hi all,
Im new to this but im going insane!! So basically i have the mirena coil fitted since aug 14', me and my sister always get our period at the same time every month so last night while munching away on chocs 😂 i asked her when she was due them as i was eating everything in sight to which she informs me she got them last sunday anyway we went and got 2 pregnancy tests not thinking anything of it really and i took both and the both showed a faint positive line! To say i was shocked was an understatement so i went and got a digital clear blue but it came back negative so now i dont know what to think!!! I am obviously going to my doc on monday but i just wanted to see if anyone here had any advice or previous experience? Preferable my partner and i dont want another baby hence having the coil! please help!!!

I have the copper coil and have strongly felt pregnant twice on it. Both times the symptoms have lasted about a week (sore boobs, can't bear strong cooking smells, that kind of thing) and then I've had a late period and gone back to normal.
That's the copper one though and I wonder if it's possible to conceive briefly on it. The mirena is full of hormones to stop that happening, I thought, although my colleague has a 3 year old dd who was born healthily despite the mirena being in throughout the pregnancy. It had slipped out of normal position apparently Shock that's supposed to be v rare though.

I'd give it another couple of days and test again. Hope it all works out.

Coils don't prevent conception. They just prevent implantation. Sad

This is the thing tho i genuinely dont feel any different i had sore boobs the other night and im having the odd dragging feeling in the bottom of my stomach so i assumed it was my period coming on but nothing! Reading back on my original message i sound a bit harsh saying i dont want another baby but i honestly never thought it could happen as i had it in for 4 years after having my son and it took me nearly 4 years to get pregnant on my lil girl after having that one removed so ive been through the whole fertility process so thats why this is such a huge slap in the face! But if i am it will be loved just like the other 2! Thanks for replying☺
