Hello all,
I have a 3 year copper iud (Nova T) which was inserted last year. I am currently nursing my 1 year old and found out that i was 4 days late from AF. I took a cheap pregnancy test (and i was trembling while i used it) so it could have altered the test...but it turned out to be positive..and i got scared b/c i have the iud. anyhow yesterday i noticed some spotting light pink and today i am seeing real red blood...i am wondering if my iud is out of position or am i really pregnant and now am miscarrying. I am having cramping not too painful but every now and then and my left leg is cramping and feeling numb at times..also i have some shoulder pain. i have never been through a miscarriage so i am wondering if this is just one of those. I havent seen any blood clots and it's not enough to stain a whole pain but i am seeing some red blood. What could be the problem..? I checked my iud and the strings are still there..could the iud have come down from the uterus to the cervix and cause this? Can u miscarry while u have the iud? If they remove the iud will it clearly miscarry the fetus??
I plan on visiting my ob tomorrow but i wnated to get some clear answers before this.
THANKS
