But you can’t get pregnant with the coil ffs. That’s the whole point.

This is truly not happening. I have literally just split up with a horrendously abusive man.

Horrid cramps. Feeling sick. Peeing all the time and now I have a positive test.

Tell me this is not happening.

What? I haven’t name changed, and I was agreeing with you.

I'm so sorry OP, I very recently found out that I am pregnant despite having the contraceptive implant. It is an awful shock and your head is probably reeling. You don't have to tell your ex anything, and if you want to talk through your options with someone if your unsure then Marie Stopes counselling service has been brilliant and very supportive.

I fell pregnant on the depo vera shot and because of the change in hormones I continued to bleed so was unaware I was pregnant until it was too late. I had a forced birth.
So yes it is possible, even these so called 99.9% accurate contraceptives fail. Get support as quick as possible, that’s a strong line there!

How will she ‘most likely miscarry’

I’m a coil baby. My mum had the coil for years and she suddenly found out she was pregnant with me.

good luck OP. Hand holding available if you need it.

I don’t mean to worry the op but cramps and sickness with a coil you should go to A&E .
I had these symptoms with an etopic pregnancy.

Yes i hadn’t clocked the severe cramps. @TeddyIsaHe please make sure you get checked out today, it’s extremely important.

Again, a handhold if you need it.

Yes see this is the thing that is panicking me - because of the Mirena I have vvvv light periods. Literally one day of pink spotting. So whilst I think I had a period last month it could have been implantation.

No movement, not showing at all so I’m hoping I’m around 5/6 weeks at the most.

The cramping isn’t extreme, and definitely not one sided or anything and I do feel fine. I’ll get myself to A&E straight away if anything changes.

Oh that’s good to hear. Wishing you well.

Op that’s a good sign that the cramps is not one sided .
My symptoms was one sided cramp( so bad it made me nauseous ) then very very light bleeding . This went on for 5 days before I took a positive test I then went straight to a&e .

There seem to be a lot of women here who have gotten pregnant with a coil in. I guess there is no way of knowing if it's moved?

You are meant to check regularly if you can still feel the strings, this was one of the reasons (Amongst many) that put me off the coil, but when I asked a friend about checking the strings she said “oh no I don’t bother doing that” so I don’t think many women actually check that it’s still in place.

I got pregnant with the coil, decided to keep the baby but lost her at 27 weeks . The miscarriage was not because of the coil though.

Tell him nothing until you've decided what's best for you.

I’ve got an appointment at the EPAU at 11, so fingers crossed things will be moving in the right direction today.

Best of luck. Glad things are moving quickly for you

You do not have to tell him you are pregnant! It's nothing to do with him! Make your choice and if you decide to keep the baby make sure you tell him nothing and cut all contact and definitely do not put on birth certificate

No flaming from me! I was going to say exactly the same thing - you do not have to tell him anything. In fact I strongly suggest you don’t.

No judgement from me and whilst I agree with this, it’s worth keeping in mind that while you don’t have to tell him anything, if you go ahead with the pregnancy the child will eventually want to know who it’s father is.

I’m sorry this has happened to you OP

Good luck today op. Hopefully after you'll have a clearer plan in mind on how to proceed.

Aww good luck OP, my friend had a coil baby who is now in her 20's!!

First off, take some time to yourself to let it sink in and also think about things.

It's certainly possible. But the coil is very effective. Speak to the doctor. You're more likely to have an eptopic pregnancy if you get pregnant whilst a coil is fitted, don't want to worry you but it's good to be aware.

Glad you are getting a scan, to check for ectopic at the very least. Hope everything is ok .

Im glad you've got an appointment so quickly. I agree with others that you don

Don't have to continue with the pregnancy or tell him anything at all.

If you have a scan today then be clear you may not continue the pregnancy so they turn the screen away from you

@TeddyIsaHe

I’ll give my GP a call this morning and see what they say re scan etc with the coil in.

I absolutely cannot have another baby. It’s not the right time, and I do not want to be tied to him in any way.

It just feels like this year is never ending with the shite.

So then terminate.

I don’t mean to be flippant. I know it can be a big decision but equally, it doesn’t have to be something you wring your hands over.

Terminate and mind yourself.
