Pregnant? Not Pregnant?
For the last month I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms. I have large, sore breasts and nipples, I feel bloated, have hot and cold flushes and I get really nauseated throughout the day.. And my last period was 2 months ago.
But I'm not pregnant. I took 2 at home pregnancy tests 2 weeks ago and visited the doctor about 3 days ago and all tests at home and at the doctors were negative. The doctor then quickly sent me home because he was running behind schedual so I didn't have much time to figure out what it was. I had an abortion over a year ago and I have been thinking about it alot. But I don't remember what came first? The thoughts or the symptoms. Either way I'm not sure if its some placebo effect or another medical issue. I am going to reschedule another appointment soon but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? I should probably add I have the marina IUD birth control and have been in a steady relationship with my boyfriend for over a year now :) |
Re: Pregnant? Not Pregnant?
Each pregnancy can be different and have different symptoms or start with different symptoms.
Let me say, I didn't have my period for about a year, but apparently due to this my body got confused and was producing too many hormones every day! So my body was spazzing out and I was bloated all the time, very emotional, stomach looked huge (bloated), very nauseous, etc. Also, keep in mind sometimes your HGC levels are too low and may not show up until around 6-8 weeks into pregnancy. |
Re: Pregnant? Not Pregnant?
Thinking so much about pregnancy CAN lead to a very realistic false one. Shortly after mine, I kept wanting to believe so much that I actually started getting a small stomach from it.
Although I'm not too sure of this since I have Paragard or how long you've had Mirena in, but in my research of IUDs, Mirena can be known to give women pregnancy like symptoms. Metallic taste, sore breasts, bloating, etc. You might be one of those people that get those kind of effects from it. And as Kelly said, it could also be a hormone imbalance making things go a little crazy. The best thing to do is to schedule an appointment and see what they say about it. If it's been two months, it's a pretty good chance the tests were right - especially the doctor's if it was a blood test. A doctor would be able to figure it out though. We can't. |
Re: Pregnant? Not Pregnant?
Mirena is a hormonal form of the IUD. Because it has hormones in it, it can produce side effects that closely mirror early pregnancy symptoms. I would ask your doctor for a blood pregnancy test to be sure but I would bet it is just the side effects from your IUD as well as since you are thinking about your abortion a lot lately it might be a hysterical pregnancy
