Shit is this positive? I have a mirena fitted.

[ineedtochangemynameforthis]

Yesterday morning I felt queasy and knew instantly I was pregnant. DH thought I was nuts as I’ve had the Mirena for about 18months now but I just knew. I tried to see if I could still feel the strings ( I’m not very good at checking) but couldn’t, although that’s not unusual apparently. So I found a test that I bought about 2 years ago and have just done it. It’s positive isn’t it?
The thing is I really really don’t want any more babies - I already have a very large family (8dc) and I’m old. However an abortion is out of the question. I can’t believe this has happened.

New test looks negative, but definitely do a couple more to make sure. False negatives are much more common than false positives.

OP I've read so many bad things about the clear blue tests (and had bad experiences myself) that I would get a pink dye one, especially as you've had a "positive" test, abeilt an out of date one.

Ooh good luck op, I would also get a pink dye test as they seem to be more reliable. Had no idea that out of date tests could show up false positives (if that’s the case).

It does look negative and CB are known for giving false positives so this is hopeful. But I would re-test in the morning especially with your symptoms. Although all of those can be symptoms of progesterone rises so it’s not a given that they are hcg symptoms.

Yes 2nd looks negative.
Definitely another test in morning and I echo a pp about going to Dr about odd symptoms incase anything else needs checking.

Thank you slightlyperturbed. I will test again again and as you say try again in a few days if neg. I’m not entirely convinced by this test as I have been very sensitive to pregnancy hormones previously.
Laura yes it would be a big sigh of relief but also a trip to the doctor to find out why I can’t feel strings as well as why I feel rough.
Mrsg I don’t know dpo but we haven’t dtd for about 2 weeks, similarly I don’t know if I’m overdue as I rarely have periods anymore due to the mirena ( exceptionally heavy periods was one of the main reasons for choosing the mirena so not having them is a blessing but now means I’m a bit clueless to pinpointing any dates as I used to ).

I prefer the pink dye tests but the CB one was the only early response one I could see in Tesco.

Fingers crossed it works out to be what you need lass.

Fingers crossed you get the result you want OP.
Remember everything happens for a reason x

How did today’s test go?? Have you told your DH yet? Fingers crossed you get the result you want

Oh gosh, any update OP?

Today’s test didn’t work at all ( no lines at all not even in the control square.) Heading into town now to buy a pink dye test. I’m still feeling nauseous but not as much as before.

Poundland tests are pretty good believe it or not

Could you have a UTI? I was on here at the end of last year with a few positive tests, but they were all false positives. I think it might have been a combo of trace blood in my urine and peri-hormones which can raise your HCG levels. I was also feeling nauseous but I think that was infection/inflammation. Few days of absolute panic and confusion!

Fingers crossed you get the result you want OP xx

Hope you get the result you want

Hope it works out for u

Any news OP?

Hope you're ok OP. Must have been a shock. Any update with the latest test?

I know several people mirena has failed for. I think it's completely misdescribed tbh.

What's the result xx

Hows it going OP?

Thinking of you OP

Any news OP? Hope you get the result you want.
