I'm in the middle of the menopause and I have a mirena coil fitted. It works just fine but?

I have regular sex with my hubby [as you do!]. A couple of weeks ago we noticed that my rib cage looked bigger and now my stomach is more rounded too. I really don't want to go the docs or the chemist for a pregnancy kit as we live in a small town but is it possible I'm pregnant? I don't have periods cos of my age and the coil. Please help!

When I was a teen, my school counselor had a large x-ray in her office of her twins (with whom I attended school). She was showing it to me one day, and I noticed a tiny little squiggle, shaped like a #7 in between them. I asked her "What's that thing?" After telling me I was the first person ever to notice, she informed me that it was her IUD.
She was in her fifties, and her kids were in their early teens, so she would have been in her early 40s when she conceived, evidently without intending to, and having taken proper precautions.

Either way, you need to see the doctor - these symptoms can be caused by many things, some of them interesting or joyful, and some of them downright dangerous. So make an appointment.

All you can do is go to the doctor and get a pregnancy test. No one (not even a doctor) can tell you if you are pregnant without that.
