Hi Everyone,
I'm a new/old member from when this was all purple and my not so little boy is now 9!
Context: I've had the mirena coil for four years, its due to come out May 2020. However, my periods are extremely late/non-existant, I am currently on cycle day 58 without a drop of red and the last time I went as long as 57 days then had barely any bleeding/spotting for three days, give or take. The doctor can't find my strings because I had them put in via surgery so they cut the strings quite short. I normally have periods on this coil so this is unusual for me. The doctor telling me that its the coil doing its thing doesn't make any sense because I still have periods on mine.
I've taken countless home pregnancy tests, all negative, and had a blood test which was also negative. I am due to have an ultrasound on the 30th to find my coil but I'm balls out terrified that a baby will be in there.
I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms for quite sometime-morning sickness; sore, swollen, bigger breasts; weight gain; bloodhound sense of smell etc etc and lately my ankles and feet have become really swollen, very similar to when I had pre-eclampsia with my son.
Bottom line: I'm freaking out. Could I be pregnant but the tests are not picking it up? Am I just too fat for a period? Am I just too stressed? What is happening?! Anyone else had this?
