I have a 9 month old son (my first and only child), and had a Mirena IUD put in during my 6wk postpartum check up. I have had no side effects from the Mirena, and had what I assumed was my first returning period over a month ago. For the past week I have been experiencing all the early symptoms of pregnancy (pinkish spotting, light cramping, nausea, heartburn, more frequent urination, etc), including a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that says I am pregnant. My son, whom I only breastfeed before naps, and a few times at night if he wakes up, has even shown less interest in my milk. I'm just wondering if the side effects of Mirena can come about after it's been in for about 8 months, with out having them before, or if I should be going to see my doctor to get it removed. I know I probably sound silly, since the chance of pregnancy with an IUD is extremely low, but no matter how much I tell myself not to worry, I can't shake this feeling. Any advice or similar situations is greatly appreciated:)

Go with your gut and get your doctors opinion. I had the mirena IUD and got pregnant on it. I saw a new study shortly after having it removed (due to finding out I was pregnant) that proved it wasnt nearly as effective as old studies claimed. I'd be on the safe side and get checked out especially since there are greater risks involved becoming pregnant with the IUD in place.

I had mine put in approximately 5 months in the past and nonetheless get it even though it is not as undesirable because it as quickly as develop into. They instructed me that this could ensue for the 1st 3 hundred and sixty 5 days then after which you won't have any for years!...

Sorry to be so image yet it incredibly is the way i've got faith. I nonetheless have mine in and plan to maintain it in till we are able to to attempt back (18 months or so) I do exactly no longer choose to must verify you're taking a pill daily or have a un planed toddler.... stable success with the take out....
