I recently found out I was preganant on a Mirena IUD. I was about 9 or 10 days late when I found out. Just a few days after a positive pregnancy test, I started cramping and bleeding, and the day after that I went to get my IUD out. The doctor took an ultasound and determined I had miscarried. We even saw the embryo on the IUD, (or so we thought). (They had trouble removing the IUD, and it may have scraped against the uterine wall). I bled mildly for a few days. Then last week I went for a follow up appointment and they did another ultrasound because I was still having some pains, and guess what?? There is a gestational sac and an embryo measuring 8 and a half weeks! (Would make me 9 and a half weeks as of yesterday). They said it's posible (but not likely) that it may have been twins and one miscarried but the other didn't. But what they believe is more likely, is that maybe it was too early before to see the gestational sac, and what we saw on the IUD was just tissue or a blood clot, but not the embryo. And now that it's a little bit further along they can see the embryo. But I am really confused now!! First I had a positive pregnancy test, then I started cramping and spotting and was told I miscarried, then I was told I didn't miscarry and am still pregnant?! What the heck!? I have also been cramping alot still and this is making me nuts! I thought that maybe I had got pregnant after the miscarriage, but then I would only be a few weeks. But by their calculations I am 9 and half weeks now! (They said DOC was around Jan 24th). I already went through grieving over the miscarriage, and now with this info, plus all this cramping, I feel like I'm gonna have to go through it all over again! Has anyone else had something like this happen? Any advice would really help!


Thanks!
