Can The Pregnancy Test Be Affected By Mirena?

Hi! I had a tubal ligation in 2012 during my C-section. I had a Mirena insertion in April, 2015 due to heavy periods. I've had morning sickness the last few mornings, had sore breasts, headaches, and exhaustion recently. I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. Can the test be affected by the hormones in the Mirena?
