I HAVE RECENTLY HAD s*x ON MY OVULATION DATE (AUG 14) AND (THIS IS GONNA SOUND CRAZY), BUT 5 DAYS AFTER MY OVULATION DATE,(AUG 19) I STARTED FEELING "WIERD" LIKE SOMETHING WASNT RIGHT. I STARTED GETTING DIZZY, HAVE HEADACHES, BLOATING, CRAMPING, LOWER BACKACHES, FREQUENT URINATION AND MORE DISCHARGE THEN NORMAL. COFFEE DOESNT EVEN TASTE THE SAME TO ME AND COFFEE IS MY LIFE!!! AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEN. I NOW HAVE 3 DAYS BEFORE MY MISSED PERIOD, BUT I REALLY FEEL THAT IM PREGNANT. WHAT SHOULD I DO??

Answer 1

you should go get a pregnancy test.

duh

Answer 2

Oftentimes when an iud is in place, you have a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy. I felt pregnancy symptoms long before they say you should and dizziness was among the first of those. Go to your doc as soon as you can. A lot of times you'll get a neg test with ectopic pregnancy. If it is a normal pregnancy, I think there may be a way they can remove the IUD, but not certain on that. It does put you high risk for miscarriage. Good Luck.
