Hi all,
Just looking for a bit of moral support and to see whether anyone else had experienced this. I went to have my scheduled smear this morning, told the nurse that I'd had a copper coil fitted about a year ago and she said she couldn't find the threads. Next thing I know I'm in the GP's office having a pregnancy test and yes, I am pregnant with my third child!
Shocked doesn't begin to cover it. My husband and I had decided that two was enough for us - we have a 4.5 year-old girl and a 15-month-old son, although I never said never.
I'm booked in to have an early scan on Friday morning so they can see whether the coil is still there and also to establish that it's not an ectopic pregnancy, which is of course a risk. My GP assured me that she thought the coil must have just come out without me realising (that's what two natural deliveries will do to you hey?!) but I'll have to wait and see.
My head is absolutely spinning. Anyone had a similar experience?
