What Causes Pregnancy Symptoms When Having An IUD Insert?
Question: Hello, I was supposed to get my IUD removed March of this year but I have yet to do it. As of right now, I am almost two weeks late and experiecing pregnany symptoms. I took two pregnancy test but both came out negative. Could it be possible to have a false negative pregnancy test result?
Brief Answer:
Blood test for pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As it is three months over after the active period of IUCD, its effectiveness towards preventing the pregnancy is doubtful.
But just by symptoms we cannot come to one conclusion regarding pregnancy, because premenstrual symptoms can mimic the symptoms of pregnancy.
And yes, sometimes urine pregnancy test kit can give false results in early pregnancy.
So, better to consult gynecologist and get examined.
Go for blood test for pregnancy, which can give more accurate result compared with urine test.
If test gives negative result, you can go for removal of IUCD and insertion of new one.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the response, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
