Hi, I am 21 with a 2 year old daughter. I got the mirena IUD in Jan of 2008 and I love it. I got PG the first time using pills and condoms so this sounded awesome because of the low PG rate. For the first 6 months or so I spotted in between periods, but after that I went like 3-4 months without a period. Now it all depends. My periods usually last 1-2 days and are not usually heavy enough for even a tampon. I also can go months without having one all together. The last couple days I have been experiencing PG symptoms. It all started on Wednesday. I fell down the stairs (and over the baby gate!) and sprained my ankle. I didn't know it was sprained (just thought it was pulled) and proceeded to go out with my hubby and mother in law. We ate dinner at a pizza place and I almost threw up. Then the next night I felt sick to my stomach when I was trying to sleep. The pain in my foot hurt as well as some other stressers in life was causing me to stay awake. Then on Saturday I ate a sandwich and took a pain pill that my mother in law gave me (which can cause nausea). Sunday afternoon I ate a chocolate bar and felt sick for the rest of the day. Then I drank 1 glass of wine on Monday night (I drink wine often so 1 glass would by no means make me sick or even tipsy) and I felt sick all over again. That night I had a tension headache (which I do get occasionally and got all the time when I was PG) that lasted until the morning. I have been exhausted lately, but could that be from me not being able to do anything bu sit on the couch with an ice pack on my foot? I took a test on Thursday and it was neg, but I know that doesn't mean anything. I could either be 3 weeks or almost 1 week. On Wednesday I felt slight cramping and breast tenderness which I attributed to my period since it's about that time, but yet again I can go months without having a period. I made a Dr appt for Jan 17th, but I really can't wait that long...could I be PG?
