Period 5 days late and I have a coil...help!

[mamayaya]

My cycle is normally only 24-26 days.

Am on 31 days!

I have a copper coil though so am a bit worried.

It would not be a disaster for me if I was pregnant - have a 2 year old and we were planning on starting to try for number 2 later this year. But am a bit !

Plus I have read that there can be ectopic implications etc with a coil.

Guess should do a test but I reckon as soon as I do one it'll start. And I work quite far away from any shops so just sitting here wondering!!

Any advice?

Not advice as such but two of my aunts got pregnant with a coil. Pregnancies both progressed normally.

My mother had a coil when she fell pg with me and now I'm a Mummy!

I've been reading up on coils on the net of late (trying to get mine removed) and yes there is a higher rate of ectopic pg with the coil, but the rate is still relatively low over all.

Basically if you are a BFP you need to get to the DR ASAP to have it removed. Also they'll check for ectopic.
My cycle has been regular as clockwork with the coil except for about twice (in 2 years). Think once was due to illness, although I suspect the second time might have been a chemical pg (which is essentially what the coil causes, as it stops inmplantation, not egg release), but then my body has been know to change just for the sake of giving me a fright!

Fingers crossed it all goes well for you.
