Tiredness, Heavy Sleep, Headache, Increased Appetite, Mild Cramping. On Mirena. Possible Pregnancy?

I am currently on the mirena and I am having pregnancy symptoms. I am tired and I sleep heavy if that makes any sense. I am also hungry all the time and have frequent headaches often. Just the other day I had mild cramping. I have not taken a test, because I took one two months ago. Is there a possibility I am pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The chances of pregnancy in your case is very less because you are on minera but it is not ruled out if the IUD is not placed properly or working properly.
You should consult a gynaecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy.
Good luck.
Take care.

Hi,
If you missed a period, you should definitely test for the possibility of pregnancy, though the failure rate is very low. You may get a serum beta-hCG test and also consult your doctor for an assessment. You may need a trans-vaginal sonogram if the observations are not conclusive. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
