Pee on stick confusion

[earlgreysandpuppies]

Hello! Hoping to get the advice of some seasoned squinters. I'm on the copper coil (only been on it a couple of months) but I'm a few days late when I've been pretty regular recently and so I POAS and here are the results. It looks rather odd and stained so I really have no idea what to make of it! Thanks lovelies! X

Hmm. Looks positive to me but I'd do another test to be sure.

Copper coil prevents implementation so possible to have a positive but it probably won't implant.

Sorry implantation

Looks flooded to me?

[GreedyDuck]

Well that's bollocks I'm afraid Inever. I have a 37 year old nephew who was born pretty much clutching the copper coil my sister had at the time. I also know at least two other women who have babies due to coil failure.

[GreedyDuck]

Sorry, I missed that you'd said 'probably won't'!

Looks flooded. Did you actually pee onto the stick?? Pee into something else and then dip the test in. There is a slightly increased rock of ectopic with the copper cool, so if you do end getting a positive, it's very important to get to the gp straight away.

I did it in a container and stuck the stick in only up to the max mark. So it could just be a dodgy test? Serves me right for getting a cheapie I suppose thanks everyone

Greedyduck I think you misunderstood what I meant.

Cooper coils are designed to prevent implantation. They are not designed to prevent fertilisation although they do reduce the chances of it happening.

Like all contraception it has a failure rate so your nephew will fall into that category.

I know I don't have a definite answer either way yet but if it's positive and the coil is taken out would that increase risk of miscarriage?

[Ineverpromisedyouarosegarden]

They would need to scan you first to answer that. If it's moved out of position possibly not.

Any update op?

You can be pregnant with a copper coil. I have a sibling who was born while the coil was in place and mum had to have it removed at a later date

My mum had a very high risk pregnancy with a lot of bleeding but baby was safe and well and she was closely monitored throughout.
