1st trimester
Pregnant with the copper IUD
Irisje24
Hi everyone!
Since Saturday I've known that I'm probably pregnant. For a few weeks I've had sore breasts and have just been incredibly tired; I was waiting for my period to start but it never came... Because I was worried, I took a test and two lines showed up... Really shocking! It wasn't planned and honestly not a great time to have a baby right now since I just signed up for a new course and I'm looking for a place to live with my boyfriend. Still, I want to keep it. I can't really be happy yet because I read a lot of scary things about being pregnant with an IUD... and that makes me very anxious... The doctor is calling me back this afternoon and then I hope I can see the gynecologist soon. I just took another test to be sure and this one is lighter than the first one.. does this mean I'm becoming less pregnant? So, a miscarriage starting? I'm really scared. Am I required to have the IUD removed by the gyn? I read that after that about 70-80% of women have a miscarriage...
Here are 2 photos of my test so you understand what I mean by it becoming lighter.

It's sweet that you asked
so far so good! The copper IUD had apparently shot out and was already out of my uterus. The baby is now 5 to 6 weeks old and the heartbeat is also there.
