Why Having Fetal Movement Like Sensation When IUD Is Fitted And No Sex For Months?

I am having sensations in my left abdomen like early fetal movement quite often. I haven t had sex for months, have an IUD that is still in place and have my period every twenty eight days, and took two home tests that were negative, but I ve had five children, and this feels like fetal movement...again on one side only, for the most part and in the same place....am I losing my mind?

Hello and welcome,

This is most likely intestinal movements that you are perceiving.

I suggest that please check if you have regular bowel habits and also stop eating things that lead to lot of gaseous distension like food with seeds and excess fibers.

Try a soft low fat diet containing complex carbohydrates like rice, semolina or cereals. Well boiled vegetables that do not have seeds like pumpkin and spinach are also good. Eat yogurt daily.

Use this for 2 weeks. If the symptoms still persist then see a doctor.

With an IUD and regular periods, pregnancy is impossible.
Hope this was helpful.
Feel free to ask any further queries and I will be happy to help.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
