Pregnant with Paragard
Hi All!
I got my Paragard out in January of 2016. I didn't have any issues with it until this past month. My last period was 9 days late, and then I had some spotting. I have pretty light, and irregular periods, so I didn't think it was too strange. I thought the spotting was my period starting, but something about it didn't feel quite right.
I took a pregnancy test this past Tuesday, and it was positive. I went in to planned parenthood on Wednesday to find out that my IUD had moved very low in my uterus and turned sideways. However, I experienced no pain and had no indication that it had moved.
I had my IUD taken out Wednesday and started the abortion pill. I go back for my check up the first week of January.
I was completely shocked, and glad I had a supportive boyfriend and supportive friends. I hope to just put my story out there as a cautionary tale, but hope to not receive any negative feedback on my abortion decision.
I will now be going back on the nuvaring.
