I  have a Paraguard, and am about 10-12 days late for bleeding. Strings feel normal, so I know it's still inside the uterus. Nipple sensitivity up the wazoo (still nursing a toddler, though, who has been sick and wanting more nurses). No sign of the monthly visitor whatsoever.  Thinking back to my first pregnancy, I really had no "symptoms" until about 6-8 weeks, when I got hit with fatigue.  Not sure what to do at this point...I've done two urine PG tests in the last week, both negative. I am going to pee on another stick tomorrow, I think, first urine. If still negative, I am thinking about a visit with my family doctor, to get a blood test and perhaps check the IUD's placement. 

 

As far as anyone knows, are there any contraindications to herbal emmenagogues such as ginger, angelica, or vit C when one has an IUD? I know that some can cause uterine activity, but not sure how it would different from normal monthly cycle uterine cramping. 

 

Any advice or experience to share is most welcome. Thank you!
