Mirena birth control pregnancy?
I need some help! I have had Mirena in since April 2012 (almost 2 years now) and I have had a somewhat regular period since then. I have really strong symptoms every month (strong cramping, irritability, and cravings.) My last period was 12/9/13 and I had some spotting on 12/22/13. My husband and I had unprotected sex at the beginning of January and about two weeks ago.
Last week I was very irritable, I had some really small minor cramping, I cried every single day all week long, I snapped at my husband, but then I'd turn around and be all loving and romantic with him. Today I started noticing that my lower back was sore and that I was almost a week late for my period, my breasts are really tender, I've had heightened smell, headaches, and I have been exhausted this week. I have not had any cramping or anything which is usually how I know my period is on it's way... I took an early pregnancy test and it was negative, but I'm still worried. I know it's hard to get pregnant on Mirena, but I also know that it's possible.. I'm just wondering if anyone else had any of this happen when they had Mirena and what I should do from here! I plan on taking another test if I don't get my period by February 7th.. I guess maybe I just need some peace of mind that I'm not crazy!

A Parachute in an Oak Tree: A World of Love
I had very simliar symptoms when my body was adjusting to totally stopping my period. After I was on it for about 6 months, my periods got lighter and eventually stopped completly. My hormones were a little wacky for another 6 months or so, but only around the time my period would normally be.
My dr reccommended taking a cheapy pregnancy test at the end of each month I didnt get my period, just for my own peace of mind. I didnt because I know the very slim chances, but when I had more obvious hormonal changes I would just in case.
