Okay so I have had the mirina (IUD) birth control now for a little over a yr, and now i am 4 or 5 days past when my period should come.
Now for about 5 yrs my periods have been regular (even on mirina) and i usually can tell when i am going to get my period cause i will get cramps, i have no cramps no period NOTHING. I kinda am concerned. now i recently went to the obgyn and he asked me if i was one of the lucky people that had no periods while on the mirina and i said no because my period where regular then. This is the first one i have missed since i had my son which was 15 months ago. should i maybe take a pregnancy test and how long should i wait?? any suggestions would be great Thanks, A.!
you can take one but, I am on my second mirina and haven't had a period in years. I stopped having mine in the second year of my first one. Then it came back and was every 3 months , not really a real period , just spotting. then it went away again and I don't have one again.
I'd take one. $11 is sooooo worth my peace of mind. Well, $22 actually... since I have always bought 2.
If you have only had the Mirena for a year then it is about the time your periods will start to stop. It took 8 months for mine to stop. I don't have cramps or bloating anymore or the need to buy tampons - it's great! Most likely that is what it is, but I would get a pregnancy test for peace of mind.
our bodies hav a funny way of working. the more you freak out and think your pregnant the more your body is gunna think its pregnant. just relax and take a test first thing when you wake up (you hav the most pregnancy hormone in ur urine first thing in the morning). if its negative take one in another week if you still dont get your period. if thats negative too go bak to ur obgyn n ask for a blood test. even if you are pregnant dont panic because you always have options.
You have nothing to lose by peeing on a stick now. Go get a test.
I would take one, but I'm always paranoid and keep a pack of tests in my bathroom.
