I think I'm pregnant and I have a coil

I did a pregnancy test yesterday and today with 4 different brands and they've all had faint lines and the clear blue was 1-2 wks preg. I have a coil fitted in a c section last year and I'm still feeding my third baby.

I do not want to be pregnant. I spoke to 111 who have said it needs to be confirmed with a blood test and then we can make a plan. I'm going to go to urgent care tomorrow.

This has happened to me before a few years ago (not with a coil) where me and dh had used a condom and then I had faint positives on a test. We did not at the time think the condom had failed and were quite shocked. The pregnancy didn't progress and I believed I had a miscarriage.

I'm wondering if it is at all possible that I have an unusually high levels of hgc and if I were to take a pregnancy test at any time it would be a faint positive?! Is this a thing? I just feel the odds of being pregnant with a coil although I know it's not 100% safe it is rare. Especially as this happened previously with a condom which we didn't think had split.

Hope that makes sense. I'm a bit of a mess today. I have 3 children under 6 and cannot fathom another.

Sorry op I've never experienced a patient testing positive for pregnancy and not being pregnant. Can you feel the strings? You need an ultrasound to make sure it's not an ectopic pregnancy. Tell
Them tomorrow and make sure they know you have the coil

Bollocks didn't mean to quote your post again!

In your case, I would be worried about an ectopic pregnancy, I would suggest that you need a scan to rule it out.

Thanks for your replies. I guess it's wishful thinking. 111 said a blood test. I guess they will also refer me for a scan to see where it is and if it's moved.

I got pregnant with a coil in. I think there is a higher chance the pregnancy would not be viable/lasting though so probably a very good idea to get checked ASAP!
