Had Unprotected Sex Before Paragard Iud. Have Headache, Dizziness, Breast Full And Tender. Suggestions?
Question: I had unprotected sex the night before my paragard iud came out, my period came 2 weeks later, but it was very light n shorter than usual, now I'm have pregnancy symptoms... headache dizziness, Moody, breast full and tender, lower abdominal cramps n pregnant test negative... what's wrong??
Hi,
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX As you had unprotected intercourse and as the paragaurd came out subsequently, there is possibility of getting pregnant. The chances of a woman getting pregnant as a result of having sex once, without contraception, is abound 30% at the woman's most fertile time. Because the SPERM CAN SURVIVE FOR 5 DAYS, and a single sperm is enough to fertilize the egg, and as you were in your most fertile period during the act of coitus.
To conclude, there could be 2 possibilities
1)Implantation bleeding due to pregnancy------Though the pregnancy test is negative, I suggest you to wait for one more week and repeat the home pregnancy test, if that is positive kindly get a scan done to localize the site of pregnancy.
2)or It could be normal menstrual bleeding. In that case you can try any other contraceptive measure which suits you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
