Iud And Pregnancy Question Posted: 08-06-06 12:04pm
Hey....I was just wondering if anyone has
had symptoms of being pregnant after
having an iud removed? I had the copper
iud for 3 yrs, had to have it removed at
the end of may because it was trying to
come out on its own....Since the removal I
have had pregnancy symptoms....But i'm
still having a period....But my period has
been much lighter and shorter than
normal...I have taken pregnancy tests but
they are negative....Could I be pregnant
or could it just be my body adjusting to
not having the iud in place anymore? If
anyone could give me some answers or
advice....I would really appreciate it. I
have heard of women being pregnant but
still having their period, I was also
wondering how they new for sure they were
pregnant if they're still having a period?
Thanks......

Women do not have a real period when they
are pregnant, they are simply having
bleeding which resembles a period..
You could theoretically be pregnant,
especially if you were not using
protection!
A pregnancy test should be accurate during
the week you have your period! Pms and
preg symptoms are similar, so it can cause
paranoia..If you are worried you should
get a blood test.

Thank you so much for the info.....So even
if I am having bleeding when i'm supposed
to start even though the bleeding is
lighter and is shorter it won't affect the
test if I take while I am bleeding or
should I wait until I quit bleeding? My
period should start around the 13th of
this month......Last month it was 3 days
early and only lasted 4 days(it usually
lasts 7-9 days)and the month before I was
3 days late and it only lasted 5
days.....And it was really light(only one
moderate day both months, and the rest of
the days was more like spotting when I
pee). My boobs hurt, i'm sick just about
every morning, my lower back hurts, i'm
very fatigued, having more headaches than
usual, I feel flutters in my stomach...And
I know its not just gas....But i've head
that after having an iud removed you could
feel flutters....I guess kind of like
muscle spasms from having the iud, my
stomach is getting big....But i'm not
gaining weight or losing weight....I have
3 kids and with my last one I actually
lost weight before I gained any with
her......I'm just really confused about it
now....But thanks so much for the
info...... :)
