I have had an IUD for 6 years, it's a 10
year IUD, and now I have a terrible pain
in my side so I decide to go to the dr.
TWO POSITIVE preg tests. They send me to
ER to have ultrasound and removal of IUD
immediately. And blood work, positive also
for pregnancy. If I am pregnant it is
less than 5 weeks. Everyone is thinking
ectopic. I don't feel pregnant. I do
have an enlarged cyst on my ovary that I
can definately feel the pain from, but I
am not feeling "pregnant". I was also on
my period last week so what are the odds
of me being pregnant? I have some thought
in my head that I have already miscarried.
Has this happened to anyone who actually
carried the baby to full term? Being
pregnant w/ an IUD? I have two precious
children and I am going to be fine either
way. I find out tomorrow what my hormone
levels have done in the last 48 hours.
Just needed somewhere to talk about this.

i know nothing about iuds, but i believe
there are certain ovarian cysts that can
trigger a positive test result.
let us know what you find out!

I will know more tomorrow. I go back to
the dr in the morning, they did a
quantitive HCG today and will have the
results tomorrow. As long as my levels
are higher than they were in the ER it
will be a positive pregnancy. If they are
the same or lower they said it means that
it will not be a good pregnancy and I will
have to have a laparoscopy to see then
remove the egg.
I just find it so odd that I am prego
after 6 years of being fine. My nurse at
my dr's office said that I am the 3rd case
recently in their office of this. If this
is so rare, how can I be the 3rd case?
