Could my Mirena cause these symptoms?
First I am not pregnant. Took 4 tests over the past week. All BFNs. The last time DH and I DTD was at least 5 wks ago so I'd assume if I were preggo it would be positive by now. And obviously, by the title of this thread, I have a Mirena IUD.
For about 2 wks I've had various symptoms of pregnancy
1. heartburn
2. bloated on and off
3. nausea
sometimes I wake up in the morning starving and nauseated
sometimes after I eat I feel bloated and nauseated
So when the heartburn started and was almost a daily thing I POAS a week ago. Neg. I've tested 3 more times since (as recently as yesterday) and all have been neg. I haven't had a period or anything more than very very faint spotting in about 6 weeks which is when the daily spotting from IUD insertion finally stopped after about 7wks (so I haven't had a real period since having the IUD put in).
DH and I both had a stomach bug over the past week (I actually had it twice) but I don't think it's related since my symptoms started long before I was sick and are still lingering. As I type this I am feeling so bloated I want to unbutton my pants yet I only had a small bowl of mashed potatoes for dinner.
Could the Mirena be causing me to feel this way? What else could cause these indigestion symptoms? I don't have any pain anywhere.
