Pregnancy Info HOME

I have had mirena for almost 2 years, I haven't had any problem with it, I have been getting my periods every month except I didn't get it this month, then I noticed my stomach was starting to get bigger and I felt really hungary and I couldn't seem to get enough sleep, and i was tired all the time, I took 3 HPT and they all came back negative, I went up to the clinic yesterday and had them draw blood for a BPT, I should get my results back on friday and I will let you all know, if i'm pregnant or not. Here is something that I found while I was researching mirena:

Mirena and Pregnancy
Because no method is 100% effective, some women using Mirena will become pregnant. When this happens, one possibility is a septic abortion (infection in the uterus while pregnant), which is a leading cause of maternal death around the world. If pregnancy should occur with a Mirena IUS in place, it should be removed. This removal process may result in a miscarriage. However, not removing the device also increases the risk of miscarriage, as well as infection, premature labor and premature delivery. When pregnancy continues with Mirena in the uterus, long-term effects on the unborn child are unknown. Because synthetic hormones are being released right into the uterus, birth defects, and infant health problems are a possibility.

Something the doctors failed to tell us when we decided to go on mirena, now if you can get pregnant on mirena what kind of birth control do they have us on. We all went on mirena so we wouldn't get pregnant and wouldn't have to worry about taking a pill or getting a shot. But what kind of birth control is this if we still can get pregnant.
