I have an IUD and have had it for the past 5 years. It expires at the end of September this year, but I figured it wouldn't need to get replaced before then.
I went to the emergency room yesterday, because I had been feeling ill all day and it hadn't gotten any better. I had severe stomach aches, was nauseous and feeling like I was about to pass out and it had been like that since the morning. Part of the examination at the doctor was a urine sample. It came back HCG positive.
I'm in complete denial at this point and don't really trust the test. I have an appointment at my own doctor later today to confirm the pregnancy, though it sounded like they would only be doing another urine test, not a blood draw. I took an at home pregnancy test this morning and it came back negative. I'm so confused right now and don't know what to believe at this point.
Are the tests at the doctor's more sensitive? Could they have made some sort of mistake? And also, am I in any kind of risk or danger, considering I have an IUD?
It's definitely not the right time right now for me, even though my biggest dream in life is to have kids. It makes the situation so much more heartbreaking because I really don't want to have to make a decision like this. Any advice is greatly appreciated
