Iud Pregnancy
Posted: 11-07-03 14:38pm

I have an iud. I have also been having unprotected sex. I know that my chances of a tubal are increased with this type of birth control. My last two cycles have been unusual, I have heart burn, and my abdomen is getting bigger and harder. I took a home test today and it was negative. I now have two questions:
Question is it true that I can still have a period and be pregnant?
Question will a tubal show up on a pregancy test?

1. Pregnant woman might have some weak vaginal bleeding (spotting), monthly, during the first few months of pregnancy but that is not a real period. Most of the vaginal bleeding while pregnant should be taken seriously because may indicate some pregnancy disorder including miscarriage.
2. Tubal pregnancy will show up on BLOOD pregnancy test. Home (urine) pregnancy tests may not show up the pregnancy (false negative test).

I'd definitely go get checked out by a gyno and have a blood test. It could be a pregnancy or another complication due to the IUD.

Heart burn and abdominal issues can be related to stress and irritable bowel syndrome too...

Definitely see your gyo.
