This is probably completely normal but i haven't experienced it so thought i would ask anyway.
To start i have an IUD in and have had it for approx 3-4 months. A week after my last AF ended my partner got the chance for a weekend away which of course means BDing. I don;t know why but afterward i got some nasty cramps and pains and started bleeding. I assumed it was something to do with my IUD and the pain and bleeding disappeared after a day or so so i brushed it off. The past week and a half my breasts have been incredibly sore. To the point i can feel something brush against the nipple through a padded bra and top/sweatshirt (and i mean lightly brush). Also been extra tired with dabs of reflux. The past 3-4days I've been starving. No matter what and wake up feeling as if i haven't eaten in days. Typical pregnancy signs for me. I knew i couldn't be pregnant so went on as my body messing with me. AF arrived a couple days late but this is what has me stumped. Its not as heavy as usual but it's not light either. Its also bright pink and lots of cm/mucus. Its normally dark red/brown. Anyone experienced this? I'm sure its normal but after having regular and typical AF's since i was 12 it took me by surprise. Thanks

| How long after your last af was your weekend away? The iud doesn't stop conception from occurring (though some are hormonally impregnated from what I understand), they stop the egg from implanting in your uterus, (so an ectopic preg is still possible). I would definitely go see a Dr & get some bloods done, you may get referred for an ultrasound, as with any form of contraception it's not 100%. Sorry but your description of bright & mucus-y sounds like what I had with my early mc. |

| Sorry I just re-read your OP, you said week after af ended, so ignore my question! Definitely go to a Dr though. |

Thanks Will go to the Dr tomorrow (she doesn't work today). I have the copper IUD as I'm allergic to anything with the hormone in it. I'm sure it's nothing (that's what I'm telling myself anyway) but i do want to make sure the IUD hasn't slipped.
ETA: if it was a mc i don't think i would want know know/have it confirmed though. |

RicKer, best to go get it checked out. I got pregnant with a copper IUD so definitely possible, and I think sperm can live for 3 days or something. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I had the copper IUD and it was horrible (I too am allergic to hormones) I had cramps, sharp pain etc.
and then to top it all off the bloody thing decided to come out at 3am.. I have had a still birth and the pain was almost comprable, it ripped my cervix and tore my vaginal wall on the way down and I had to have a blood transfusion due to the amount lost. Oh and I also got pregnant on my first copper IUD (when I had still birth) have funny scan of bubs and the IUD in one hahah, I think a couple of other oh baby ladies have had this happen as well. But I have heard of girls pulling them out themself without any pain so I guess its all about the angle it comes down on. I would never ever reccomend copper IUDs to anyone. sorry I should not of given you a horror story, but basically go to your doctor.. if it has slipped then you will want to know to save yourself what happend to me. |

AF is back to normal today so might have just been a weird cycle
Will still go to the doc. Breasts are still sore and super hungry but that could be due to AF. buddyblueeyes - Do you know if you can get the IUD out at any time or do you need a good reason? Since I've only had it in a few months they might want me to keep it longer. When it was put in DP and i were 100% on not wanting any more kids for a few years but now we are both slowly coming around to the idea. I can still feel the string too. Id heard of it moves i wouldn't be able to feel it? |

I got my IUD out 6 weeks after I had it put in as it didn't agree with me so time doesn't matter.
Hope it's just nothing. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

| Thanks AandCsmum. I might talk to her about it and then see what DP says (that's if it hasn't moved, if it has i want it out regardless). Phoned the Dr and turns out shes in this avo for a couple hours so im off to see her at 3. Fingers crossed its nothing. |

it could have moved further down and you would still be able to feel the strings, they would be longer tho. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| She said from what she can tell it is still okay and in place. She said it might have just move a little but she is pretty stumped so is checking for infection etc. She also insisted i do a pregnancy test no matter how much i told her i wasn't pregnant and i was right, BFN. I know she was just being sure though. |

hehehe they tell you to do a pregnancy test even if you haven't BD in like the last year. Its ridiculous.
I hope they find out what is up for you then. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
