Iud's And Pregnancy Posted: 11-05-04 20:53pm
I have had an iud for about a year now and
recently I have been having a lot of the
same symptoms I had when I was pregnant.
I havent had my period in almost two
months and I have been bloated, nauseous,
irritable, unusually tired and my breasts
seem to have grown. I am not sure if I
could even be pregnant since I have an iud
and my doc told me I could stop having my
period because of it too. Can anyone
tell me if I should bother getting a test
or am I just crazy. Any help would be
great.

You can definately get pregnant! I did.
8 months after the iud was inserted. I
had my second daughter 20 months after my
first.
If you are pregnant don't worry if you've
heard any iud horror stories. They took
my iud out when I was 6 weeks pregnant and
my daughter was born perfectly healthy.

Yes, pplleeeaassee get tested and checked
to see if you are pregnant, I am not
trying to scare you but I got pregnant
while having an i.U.D. And the fetus
ended up with the i.U.D. But I did end up
miscarrying.
Sincerely,
sandy

Thanks For the Advice Posted: 11-08-04 02:37am
I found out tonight in the er that I have
an ectopic pregnancy. I was in a lot of
pain and had to leave work. They gave me
a shot that is supposed to kill the
trophoblast cells and I have to go back to
the doc's in a few days to get an
ultrasound to make sure its gone. If its
not I have to have laprascopic surgery.
The whole thing was scary and I cried a
bit but my hubby and best friend were
there and both are very supportive.
Thanks again for the advice.
