Is It Difficult To Get Positive Pregnancy Test With IUD?

I went to get my IUD out and they couldn't get it because it's tissue has been going around the strings. I'm freaking out. They also did a pregnancy test which came out negative but I've heard that with an IUD it's hard to see if your pregnant with Just an urine test?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood the concern. Pregnancy test can be performed as usual with an IUD in situ. If it happens to be a hormone IUD, it may be difficult to read the test, but, there should be no interference with the result. In fact, in such a scenario, the blood test and sonogram help a lot. If your IUD could not be removed under naked vision, I would suggest ultrasound-guided removal, which is often successful. If still difficult, you will need a hysteroscopy. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
