Possible pregnancy with Mirena

Hi IM's
I'm sort of freaking out a little. I have the Mirena as my contraception and have had it in for a bit over 2 years. I haven't had any issues with it previously. Over the last week my body has been acting up, my skin has gone oily and breaking out in pimples, my breasts are tender, I am urinating a lot more and my stomach feels bloated.... My period isn't really regular due to the mirena, sometimes I skip it for a few months.
Is it possible that I could be pregnant? I have an appointment with my GP in a few days, just wanting to hear from people who may have been in the same situation.
Thank you

Pregnancy is possible with ANY form of contraception. No form of contraception is 100%. So yeah it's possible and does happen. Take a home pregnancy test in the mean time. That could speed things up for the GP so you can both start making a plan. You may also not be pregnant and it could be something else.
