I would grab a handful of dollar store tests and test every so often-- before going to the dentist for x-rays, going to a party etc. or if I wasn't feeling quite right just to make sure. </p> <p>I am having mine removed today after 4.5 years and I will happily have another one put in when we are between kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1048675 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:32:26 +0000 Aimed 1048675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: Dec 2011 - that is glorious! I took another HPT this morning because my paranoia is utterly boundless and of course it was neg so I am officially not worrying anymore!<br /> Thanks ladies for the reassurances!!<br /> @Beebug: I'm so sorry you had a mirena horror story. It does seem like one of those things that if it works well it is amazing but if it goes wrong its horrid! I hope that you are recovering well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1048130 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 22:07:50 +0000 Beebug 1048130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the horror story with Mirena. I am still healing from surgery I had in July to remove it from my abdominal wall after it migrated! So I can't really complain about my wonky periods while Mirena was in since it probably never was where it was supposed to be :p</p> <p>Good luck! I was on depo for 9 years of no periods if that counts for anything and it was amazing! I was young when I went on it so the "omg am I pregnant" stuff was never a worry and when it was I was used to no period! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047805 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:27:47 +0000 yellowbird 1047805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: I have a mirena and no period since dec 2011! Woohoo! I also know its still there because I had it checked last week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047626 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:29:06 +0000 Aimed 1047626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: that does make me feel better!! I will keep reminding myself of that!<br /> Thank you do much ladies, I feel less freaked out and look forward to enjoying no periods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047256 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:56:29 +0000 loveisstrange 1047256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Mirena, my period never came back postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047190 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:41:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 1047190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first "missed" period on Mirena can make you nervous!! If it makes you feel better to take a test, then I'd do that (I did!) - just keep in mind that Mirena is technically more effective than sterilization, so just remind yourself of that whenever you start to freak out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047172 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:35:00 +0000 Crisark 1047172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never worried. I just stopped having a period and I was happy. I've had my second Mirena for almost 4 months now and I haven't bled in probably 2 months. Being pregnant never crossed my mind. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047106 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:20:00 +0000 Aimed 1047106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: that is a relief - I think I am currently just going through that first pregnancy freak out!! I really look forward to letting go and trusting this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047092 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:18:12 +0000 Aimed 1047092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1:O man, thats scary, my dr. said that the odds of it falling out after the first few months are tiny so that is crazy that it happened to two ladies at the same time! I am paranoid about that too! yey :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047088 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:17:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1047088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: I had four period free years on Mirena. After the first pregnancy freak out I got used to not having a period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047063 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:10:11 +0000 babynumber1 1047063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two BFF's both had the Mirena. Their periods did disappear after about 4-6 months, and only returned sporadically. </p> <p>However, both of theirs fell out (within 2 weeks of each other!) One had it 3 years and the other one less than a year when they fell out. Apparently you can feel the strings, so you know if it is still in the proper place. </p> <p>I was too scared to get one after theirs both feel out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-mirena-users-and-lovers#post-1047038 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 14:56:31 +0000 Aimed 1047038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got my mirena, I thought, oohh, no periods - fab, but now 5-6 months in my period is late and I am a nervous freakzoid! I actually took a HPT this morn (neg!) but am still terrified that I am pregnant.<br /> So mirena ladies, did your period stop after a time on mirena and if so how do you quiet the pregnancy fears or do you just get used to it. I fully admit I may have trust issues and so have a fear of this thing failing me! </p>
