What Causes Heavy Bleeding, Tender Breasts, Cramps And Vomiting While On IUD?

I had an IUD put in at the end of March. Soon after I stopped having my period or if I did, it was very light and lasted a couple days. But now since the beginning of November, I ve been bleeding heavily, cramping, breast tenderness, and today I threw up a few times. My body aches and I feel very weak. I don t have an appointment with my dr until this Friday, is this something I should get checked ASAP?

hi and very pleased to answr you

If you do not forget taking the pill and do not vomit it, the pill will be effective at almost 100%.

The effectiveness of the IUD is about one pregnancy per 200 women-year, I mean, if an IUD is inserted to 200 women, one from these 200 women will be pregnant in the year.

Occasional pregnancies develop even on a uterus with a well-placed IUD.
For hormonal IUDs, Spreading hormones for about 5 years, the risk of pregnancy is still lower, about one in 400, one in 500. It is a method that is very effective and gives a certain feeling of freedom. You can be sure for 5 years with an annual check.

The IUD does not increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, but it does not protect against ectopic pregnancy. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in a surrogate woman is more difficult because there is small bleeding.

Then, As I have just explained that despite the IUD, pregnancy is possible and as you have some symptoms that can refer to pregnancy, or even ectopic pregnancy (rarer), I URGE YOU TO CONSULT your gynecologist.

best wishes
