It could be that you were pregnant but lost it due to the IUD. Perhaps that's why the heavy bleeding. I have heard that can happen, but I'm only speculating. Post again when you find out. Good luck.
Like Cinn, mine have always been right. They are pretty accurate. If you missed your period wait a week just to see. Good Luck to you.
Oh Those MEN never listen!!!
All you can do is wait since you did one Id wait til next week now and do a morning urine one.
In case af shows --Usually does after you spend your hard earned money on a hpt!
yes, I am waiting. I took one on Monday, the day my period was due, and it was negative. So I felt relieved knowing the answer and went about my business. I thought my period would show up because I'm a 28-day girl right on the money, but now I'm still waiting. No sign of it. I did not use first morning pee though, I did it in the afternoon and I'm an H20-holic so it was pretty diluted. I trust those tests but I was reading through the archives here and got freaked out. We did the pull-out method twice during my fertile time b/c hubby got overzealous and we didn't have any condoms - I warned him! So that's where my concern lies.
Very rarely is a period the same every month unless you are on BC or regulated with hormones, so I would wait until you are week late to take a test. There are just too many independent variables to a cycle.
No mine were always right if I was late with a period
Now I never tested right on period day or one day later
Have you missed one yet?? Maybe jumping the gun.
