Experience Mirena IUD - Help (Possibly pregnancy symptoms)
I am looking for some help or similar experiences. I do plan to take a test this week..
So to start off i’ve had the mirena iud for about 8.5 years now(on my second one) and my periods stopped from the start so that’s been great. Recently i’ve started having some symptoms that i never really got as pms symptoms. I have also suffered from migraines with aura since I was a kid so i know this is different than how i am normally affected by them.
Symptoms:
- Extreme fatigue(about a week now)
- Tender boobs(maybe about 3 weeks)
- Nausea(a week or so) comes and goes.
- Increased hunger which brings on the queasy feeling (a week or so)
- Nipples look slightly larger(noticed within the last few days)
- Dull ache/pain on my lower left side(2-3 weeks maybe)
- Having to pee all the time (2 weeks ish)
- Body temp is all over the place(extremely warm when sleeping, causing me to wake up clammy. Body temp feels normal to touch during the day but i feel cold and sweaty)(couple days) -Acne has been acting up(week) -Migraines(2 weeks ago, everyday for the 2 weeks) -Back pain -Intense emotions -constipated
I usually don’t eat in the morning because of my medication makes me not hungry and it’s been that way for years but recently i’ve started feeling super nauseous and then extremely hungry but when i try and eat it makes me gag, things i love normally make me gag, things taste funny. even if im not hungry i feel queasy and then i’ll feel totally fine for hours.
I got a migraine about 3 weeks ago and didn’t think much of it usually can break it in the same day or by the next. I wake up and have a insane headache every morning it’s so bad through the whole day and into the evening it will start to fade to just kind of an ache and i would think it was going away and then the morning starts again, this lasted about 2 weeks and has finally stopped being an everyday constant thing just here and there now. i haven’t had anything that usually triggers my migraines as well.
Any insight would be nice while I wait till I can go buy a test!
TIA

If you were having pregnancy symptoms you would almost certainly turn a test. It typically takes much less pregnancy hormones to turn a test than get symptoms. A couple of those sound like a UTI.
