Feeling very icky, any advice welcomed.?

Question

Ok, well. Here we go. The past week or so I have been feeling seriously "icky". Nauseous, headaches, very very tired after not really doing much, ill, moody...ect. Everyone keeps asking me if I am pregnant, but I have an IUD. I did "miss" this month, which I am sure has something to do with the IUD that I have had for the past 7 months (first missed month). I am nauseated all day long, doesnt matter what I eat. I havent had a fever, no vomiting or anything like that, just extreame nausea in which I have to lay down and usually end up taking a nap while my husband watches our two year old daughter (after he gets off work...ofcourse). I have absolutely no idea what could be my deal. I've tried pepto and everything and nothing seems to work. I have had this ongoing session of c**p for a week and a half now. I dont know what to do, because getting a doctors appointment where we live at is like pulling teeth, they do not want to see you unless you are dying. Any advice? Oh and I cannot drink anything carbonated due to gastric bypass surgery 4 years ago, so no ginger ale, sprite.. nothing. Any ideas on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

It could be lack of iron or dehydration, I feel that way when I haven't been taking my iron pills or drinking enough water, try drinking more and see if you can get a blood test to check your blood counts, which will tell you if you are lacking in iron.  Also, if pregnancy is possible, then you should just get a pregnancy test from a pharmacy, just to be absolutely sure.  

Answer 2

Hi

I had 3 negative pregnancy tests and I was preggers. The doctor eventually took a blood test which is 100% accurate and it confirmed the pregnancy. It would also be worth going back to the clinic and discussing symptoms as the gastric bypass could also be a factor. I would def get this checked.

Answer 3

You wouldn't be the first that got pregnant with an IUD in place. My sister-in-law did.Sorry

Ya see, we think you're preggers. Not that we're qualified doctors or anything but we are top contributors and it's our professional opinion that you are 'with child'.
