I have the mirena coil in and last few weeks I’ve been showing signs of pregnancy or what I thought was pre menopause.
The pain in my back and abdomen started to become worse so I took myself to the doctors .
The pregnancy test they did was pregnant and my HCG levels came back 106. I’m having migraines and flushes and can’t sleep.
Now today the bloods have have come back lower but I still have period pain and back pain and just feel drained.
They said they re examine me in a week now but I have this sudden urge to push something out. I don’t know if it’s my coil causing problems or what it is but Its really intense.
Just feel emotionally drained.
Any suggestions.
I wasn’t trying for a baby but still feel really sad over all this and shocked.
