Freaking out at possible pregnancy with IUD!
• Copper IUD around 2-3 months ago. • Always used condom until 3 am last Sunday. • BF did pull out method • I have always been spotting before my period since IUD • spotting since yesterday but today I thought I was early with my period and if I am, that is VERY abnormal for me. • So I may be spotting, or abnormal bleeding (sign of pregnancy) or just early period. • googled about pregnancy with IUD and started mentally freaking out after reading about ectopic pregnancy. • I have 2-3 pregnancy tests available to me right now and plan to take them tomorrow as it is very early morning right now and I have work early.
No chance: • 3 am Sunday we had raw sex with pull out method so that's only 46 hours ago approx. • IUD is 99% effective • Apart from that one time, we always use a condom. • No other symptoms of pregnancy.
Yes chance: • if it is bleeding not spotting, VERY abnormal for me. (I am unsure how to judge with bleeding and spotting). I guess I can keep an eye on the amount tonight since I've only been spotting since yesterday.
Am I just freaking myself out with the nightmare googling?? 🙃 Ectopic pregnancy sounds so terrifying.
