Mirena IUD Pregnancy Symptoms

I have had the Mirena IUD since January of 2009. Had no problems, had regular to light to spotting periods. Periods always either two days early or two days late but never late. Fast forward to 2012, after having the IUD for 3 1/2 years, I am not starting to feel pregnancy symptoms: tender/sore breasts. 8 days late on my period. Soft bowel movements 2 to 3 times a day, frequent urination. I took two home pregnancy tests both came back negative. Took a hospital pregnancy test, it also came back negative.

My question is: Did any of the Mirena IUD users took a hospital test and it came back negative, but it TURNS out you were pregnant after all?

I plan on going to my OB/Gyn on the 24th of this month. But first let me tell you, today I am 10 days late, breasts are still sore. Yesterday I went to a local Planned Parenthood to get my IUD removed. Sadly they cannot find the strings and can't see where it is at since they do not have an Ultrasound machine. So my best bet is to wait until my scheduled OB/Gyn appt. I do not know why I am still feeling like that. Could I be going through early menopause? I am 31. Thanks.

Hi,
How are you? Serum Hcg  is performed to determine if  pregnant or not. This is considered to be about 98% accurate. There are times that false positive or negative test results may occur.  When the test is negative but pregnancy is still suspected, the test  an be repeated after 1 week. It is best that you discuss this also with your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and regards.
