I just had a baby ten weeks ago. At my five week post partum visit the doctor inserted the Mirena IUD. I had the usual cramping then i got my period exactly when they said i would. Well now my period is late. So i searched under google about IUD's and come to find out alot of people get pregnant with an IUD. I know i might be a little paranoid, but i'm also experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Can anyone tell me anything to help me out?
Uh, get a pregnancy test I guess, my cousin had a baby almost a year ago and her period isnt back on track yet.
Its very unlikely you are pregnant using the mirena coil, they are not like the old IUD they have a hormonal capsule that slowely releases a hormone into your womb for the first three months, which thins the lining of the womb to almost nothing, hence no periods, I had one for 5 yrs and never had a period at all, that normal for the mirena coil. If in doubt do a test! you doctor should have told you this! and incase its a concern normal firtility returns very quickly after its removed, I was pregnant within a couple of months of having mine taken out
