prego with a copper iud

by onlyboyz, Aug 02, 2009 10:19AM
Hi, I've had a copper iud in place for three and a half years.  After I stopped nursing I got a normal period avery month for the past year and a half now.  I am almost a week late!  Is it possible to be prego or can my period have just stopped?   Also all my life my periods have been only 2 - 3 times a year,  but since the copper iud always regular! Anyone with the same or similair experience?

Its possible to be pregnant (it happened to me, with my first child), but  very unlikely.

You should test for pregnancy, using a first morning urine and a sensitive pregnancy test.
If it is negative, you can test again in several more days to a week.  If your period is still MIA, either wait a bit longer (even the most regular of women may miss a month in their lifetimes), or ask your doctor, if you are uncomfortable with waiting.

when did you stop nursing?

if your not using condoms is it still slightly possible for you to be pregnant again

and it sounds like you have had irregular periods before the iud being that you had been getting your periods only 2 to 3 times a year. maybe your body just went back it that?

if you think your pregnant the only thing to do is take a test
