Any mamas get pregnant while on the Mirena?

I have the Mirena IUD. I have been having pregnancy symptoms. My at home tests have been negative. But something is telling me that I am. I have an appointment with my OB. But want to know if any other mammas have had this happen to them??

I always had pregnancy symptoms on the Mirena and wasnā€™t pregnant thatā€™s why I got it removed.

I did. Was painful. I went to ER for chest pain and I was 2 weeks pregnant according to my levels. He was 2 months early. He is now 4 and thriving. During my pregnancy I had a lot of spotting.

I have felt like Iā€™m pregnant at some point every month for the last 5 years :sweat_smile: So many pregnancy tests, all negative. Sore boobs, nausea, weird cravings. Then every symptom is just gone.

Get the arm implant. Way better

I did!! I was almost 24 weeks before i found outā€¦still got a light period too so I had no clue xx

I did i had 6months left on mine to get new one and fell pregnant it had fell out and i did not know i was feeling sick and was 9weeks pregnant

I have the mirena & this is my biggest fear. Lol

I always had symptoms of pregnancy with mine (Iā€™ve had 3) never actually was pregnantā€¦ Obviously a good thing youā€™re double checking at the doctors, but I wouldnā€™t stress too much. Best of luck!

I have it and always get symptoms

I know someone who did. Delivered baby and then years later had to have it surgically removed. They assumed that she didnā€™t have it anymore as they couldnā€™t find it. Itā€™s always a possibility. Glad you are checking with your doctor about.

Mine shifted, or moved out of place. I was pregnant but miscarried a few weeks in because of it.

I didnt get pregnant while on it however it started giving me ovarian cysts. Went to my local er and they told me it was pelvic inflammatory disease, didnt sit right with me so I went to my obgyn and they did an ultrasound and I had 14 cyst on one ovary and 10 on the other. I had nausea, vomiting, and extreme pain, at the time I though it could have been implantation pain or that maybe it moved but nope

Had it 10 years no issues. About to get my 3rd

I did, my daughter is almost 2yrs old now.

Yes I did and it was the scariest thing Iā€™ve ever went thoughā€¦I had a miscarriage

Yess i did ended up with an eptopic pregnancy and took to theatre x

Yup, I got it & didnā€™t realize until I was 6 months pregnant that it had failed me. That was 7 years ago & now I wouldnā€™t change a thing but at that point, it was more than a surprise! Good luck!

Iā€™m on my 2nd one. I take tests sometimes too just to be sure since I donā€™t ever have periods anymore. Itā€™s just the hormones :upside_down_face:

My friend lost her Mirena after thinking she had to ā€œperiod poopā€. It just fell on out. So, it definitely wasnā€™t placed right. My stepsister got pregnant with her daughter on the Mirena. Somehow it was dislodged from itā€™s spot.

I have. Iā€™m almost 6 months pregnant now. I havenā€™t had any issues.

I did years ago I was still having periods right upto 8 half months test kept coming back negative

I had pregnancy symptoms with my first iud. I had silicone poisoning from it and had it removed in the ER. Iā€™ve had no issues with my second one.

I did my baby is 11 days old.

Iā€™ve had mirena for 2 and half years now and Iā€™m completely fine !! I also still have a period every month! Itā€™s very rare to get pregnant on it!! And I was told this by an obgyn specialist when I went to see about getting my tubes removed because Iā€™m done having kids! (One and done!)

Mine moved after a year. I went in for a routine visit and they had to do an ultrasound just to find it. I didnā€™t end up pregnant but according to the midwife there was a HUGE chance it could have happened. It was the longest pregnancy test I have ever taken :sweat_smile: they removed it and placed another one and it did the same thing.

I didnā€™t get pregnant on it but let me tell youuuuu ā€¦ the mjnute I got it taken out was the minute I found out I was pregnant lol (a week later).

At the end of mine which I still have and am getting swapped Monday, I started having symptoms similar to pregnancy. Sore tender breasts. Just overall not feeling good. The chances are very slim but it does happen. Can be dangerous too.

Yā€™all Iā€™m scared I just got my mirena earlier this week :upside_down_face:

My Mirena baby will be 17 in January.

Ariana Weldon did!

But when I had it, I noticed I got pregnancy symptoms during the time I would ovulate. My boobs would swell and hurt, Iā€™d have nausea, smells would bother me.

I have gotten pregnant on every single birth control I have been on. Got pregnant while on the pill, depo shot 2 times. And the ring. So anything is possible. good luck to you.

I was told the hormones from the Mirena can cause pregnancy symptoms. I got paranoid a lot on Mirena and took many negative tests. And I had an early miscarriage 3 months after having it taken out. And took me another 9 months to conceive a successful pregnancy.

Currently 15 weeks :joy: thanks Mirena :joy::woman_facepalming:

I have had symptoms of it. Tender breasts, cravings, mood swings, and fatigue, but havent been pregnant with it yet.

Me and miscarried when I went to my OB to remove the iud

Yaaaaa mine wasnā€™t positioned right and now I have a soon to be 10 year old. :upside_down_face::joy: I love him though. He is definitely worth it.

Yup. Ectopic. In my ovary. Literally almost died.

I did on depo shot and went through half the pregnancy without Knowing

I had Mirena for 10 years and never even had a scare, but Iā€™ve heard of others that have.

I currently have Mirena and have the same scares every couple of months.

No but for the short time I had mine I had pregnancy symptoms all the time.

I got pregnant with the paraguard iud

I did, it was quite the surprise

I have it, have had many scares but I didnā€™t have regular periods, felt some symptoms but all tests were negative, changed my diet and symptoms went away :woman_shrugging:t2: I do have an appointment at the end of the month I will ask them to test

I got pregnant on it, it was in for over a year and everything :woman_shrugging:t2:

I got pregnant on it

I have been in this situation. Iā€™ve been pregnant and the Mirena was imbedded in the placenta. Had to visit my doctor every 2 weeks to be checked. If you have questions, feel free to send me a message.

Thatā€™s the way I feel now. Iā€™ve had mine for a year. But my mirena here lately, I cramp really bad, I have pregnancy symptoms, but my tests always come back negative.

I got pregnant with paragaurd after about 2 years

My mirena fell outā€¦you sure itā€™s still there?

I have been having pregnancy symptoms too BUT im not on any birth control my husband had a vasectomy 3yrs ago next week and hes the only one i sleep with and every pregnancy test i take comes back negative

Of you had the Covid Vaccine it might be causing a lot of problems.

Got pregnant twice on the mirena

I have mirena. Never got pregnant on it but the first year I had symptoms similar to pregnancy. Eventually my body got used to it. After I had the covid vaccine my period skipped a few months (I usually get at least a day or 2 of spotting), I also had strange symptoms around when my period was supposed to have come. This all sorted itself out after 2 months.

While I had the Mirena I occasionally had pregnancy symptoms but was never pregnant. UNTIL the iud was expired. I failed to have it removed after the 5 years. I got pregnant with my youngest in year 6 of having the Mirena.

Iā€™ve recently had the mirena removed as it caused a lot of pregnancy type symptoms but Iā€™m not pregnant and it was just my bodyā€™s way of reacting to the hormones. But it is possible to get pregnant on the coil itā€™s just as likely to have an ectopic pregnancy so your best bet is to be checked out by a doctor.

Alot of the side effects of the iud are similar or just strait out pregnancy symptoms

I know someone who had an IUD and got pregnant and didnā€™t know it until one morning she gave birth in her bath tub.

I had symptoms similar to pregnancy but it turned out I was having recurring cysts which produce symptoms very similar to pregnancy.

I am the result of my mom getting pregnant on an IUD

I have had mirena 3 and half years and having super pregnancy symptoms and throwing up for a month and a half and suddenly got heavy bleeding and went to ER with excruciating pain and I was told I was probably feeling gas or period
Iā€™ve had a child before I know what a baby inside me feels like and Iā€™m feeling a second heartbeat and multiple movements and kicks! My husband feels it too!!
All tests are negative for pregnancy! Iā€™m crying cuz Iā€™m not crazy there is a baby in me ! But no one will do an ultrasound hoping this 4th dr will do an ultrasound for me as they take out the iud !

How long have you had the Mirena? Home pregnancy tests are over 99 % accurate, if multiple are saying you are not, it is likely accurate. Birth control tricks your body into thinking itā€™s already pregnant so you donā€™t get pregnant, therefor you get the symptoms sometimes/especially at first. But best to follow up with your doctor if something isnā€™t right. Better safe than sorry

I lady in my church got pregnant with an iud. She had actually went in to talk about getting her tubes tied. She was surly to find out she was pregnant . One dr said leave it and one said take it and they did. When they did she bled everywhere and for days. She eventually had a very early delivery and the baby only lasted a few weeks . It was so little when they buried it that the ā€œcasket ā€œ look like one of those little white styrofoam coolers. Here with stuff like that or if you bury ashes you can bury it over another grave .
This person would not have it taken it out if she had a choice but tissues had grown around it

My cousin had a baby while her Mirena has become dislodged. The boy is now 14

I got pregnant twice with Mirena, ended up losing both. It happens more often than you think. But my at home tests were positive

No birth control is 100%, and I saw mamaā€™s getting pregnant with an IUD more than any other bc. (I worked at a clinic) Make sure to keep your appt, because the iud can be tricky. Best of luck to you!!

I had a IUD years ago. Ooops I named her Sarah.
She later had her tubes done and for pregnant twice. She miscarried the first early on and the second time she carried to about 8 months and lost him due to a car accident.

I have a now 9 year old thanks to Mirena lol. Not complaining by any means but had it placed after the birth of my twins in 2009 and found out I was pregnant Feb 2012 and my daughter was born in May.
Just to note thoughā€¦
All my babies (5) are birth control babies.
Depo-18 year old
Nuvaring-15 year old
Pill (ortho)- twins 12 year old
Mirena-9 year old
The birth control lasts apparently 3 years for me

My Mirena fell out and I ended up pregnant with my 4th daughter.

My Mirena baby is 9 days old.

I had the mirena for a year found out may i was 7wks pregnant. Pregnancy test positive. Dr said it may have dislodged.

I did twice. 4 months apart. Lost both early on and got positive home pregnancy tests.

On the mirena I ended up pregnant and had a severe sub chorionic hematoma and miscarried at 10 weeks. Iā€™ve stopped using medical birth control since Iā€™ve been pregnant 3 times using it. It just doesnā€™t work for me

Please get yourself checked out. I ended up with an ectopic pregnancy while having a Mirena in. I was showing symptoms of pregnancy, but tests were negative. I ended up in the ER, and if I had waited much longer, my fallopian tube could have ruptured and I could have died.

No but I had heavy bleeding every 2 weeks, extreme mood swings, severe crampingā€¦ I had it for 7 months before I got it out. I had none of these issues prior to it

I got pregnant with an iud in place. It was an absolute shocker because my gynecologist told me after having a super hard time inserting it, that I would probably have a hard time getting pregnant.
But it happened.

I had a lot of pregnancy symptoms but wasnā€™t pregnant. I ended up getting it out because it was so uncomfortable and I bleed all the timeā€¦

Had mine in for over a year and In January I was having lower back pain throught it was a kidney stone. They informed me I was pregnant and had to remove my iud. Apparently it move because my uterus was tilted. That same week I miscarried.
