Do you ever feel pregnant?

I got this birth control about four months ago and sometimes I wonder if I am pregnant. Without a period, I get a little freaked out. I know it is a very, very, very small percentage of women who can get pregnant. The reason why I'm freaking out is because I stopped breastfeeding my daughter about two months ago and I still have that feeling like my milk is coming in. It's weird. I'm just freaked out but I don't want to spend the money on a pregnancy test if I'm not actually pregnant. Is anyone else going through this or is it just me?

Oh, my sister in law had mirena as well, and she ended up having it removed because it hurt her! It made her feel sick and pregnant too!

The birth control I am using is an IUD, I think it is called mirena.  Thanks for the advice!!

Planned Parenthood does them free sometimes, and you can call united way 211 and they will give you some other numbers of places that do low-cost or free tests!

I feel like that also. Im still breastfeeding and i really dont know how it feels when it comes in cuz im constantly feeding my son. but i too haven't had a period at all and it does freak me out plus ive been getting bad crampy feelings. i would check to see if theres a place that does pregnancy testing i dont know what kind of insurance you have but i have medicaid and im sure they cover it. you can always check with tri county also

That happened with me whe I had my first son as well. What birth control are you using? Birth control will sometimes make you feel pregnant again,with nausea and light headedness, feeling tired, sore breasts. I still had milk coming in for months after I stopped breastfeeding my son. I wouldn't be too worried about it, but you can definitly ask your doc about it! I got pregnant with my first son on the pill! :-)
