Not very: If your Mirena (levonorgestrel) is not older than 5 years it's quite unlikely you are pregnant. But it always is a great idea to check a pregnancy test if you're concerned.

Possibly cysts: You may have pulled a chest wall muscle that may feel like tender breasts; you may have pulled some of the cooper's ligaments in the breast and have tenderness from that (by exercising w/o good support bra), or you could have an ovarian cyst producing higher levels of estrogen that is making cysts in the breasts and causing tenderness. Mirena (levonorgestrel) often causes periods to stop, but do check preg tst@hom.
