Ok so heres the deal i'm freaking out because i dont know if i could be pregnant......... i'm 23 and have a 5 year old and a 16 month old so another pregnacy is not what i wanted right now....
I have the IUD in and its been in for over a year now but a few weeks ago i noticed that it was hanging lower then it usually does so i dont know if its coming out or what.
Yesterday i notced brown discharge when i wiped and its been going on all day today to but its just when i wipe its not like a period, at first i thought it was my period coming on so my husband and i had sex this morning because that always makes my bleeding start heaver (when it is my period) but that was this morning and tonight still no period just the brown discharge when i wipe.
So does anyone know what this means could i be pregnant?
I never had spotting or discharge with my first two.

IUD strings can vary during a womans cycle, you should NEVER feel the actual IUD coming out of yourc ervix, this is a bad sign.
IF you suspect pregnancy you should consider a preg blood test, which is more accurate early on than a urine test |

| I have had the copperT IUD in now for about 6 years. I have an 8 year old son and a 6 year old daughter. I at this point considered my family complete. In January my period was late but then I started spotting. It was also a brown discharge an only when I wiped. I though for sure it was the beginning of my period. It went on for about 5 days and I just figured it was an irregular period. I now know that I am pregnant. I have my first appointment tomorrow and after reading a lot of different posts here on the web about this topic am scared. I honestly didn't want to be pregnant again but now that I know I am I don't want to lose the baby. I suggest anyone who thinks they might be get checked out as soon as possible. Supposedly its easier to get it out the earlier it is. |

well I also have the IUD. When ever I have a brownish discharge it usually means (for me) the start\end of my period. But when I first got my IUD I also had the brownish discharge, but it eventually went away. About the strings... when you have your period, ythe strings tend to move more towards the middle. The brownish discharge may be the cause of the strings to "feel" like the IUD is falling out. The strings on the IUD usually rest on the side of your vagina, so when the discharge happens the moves strings more towards the middle. You would know if the IUD fell out, because it dose not stay in there it just falls out. But you should see your doctor, just to make sure. If you are pregnant it needs to be removed immediately, or you will have a missgarage, or it can lead to death. So go see the doctor and get your self checked out.good luck!  |
