Hi all...i'm new to this forum but i'm really hoping someone can help me.
I have a hormone free IUD (have had it in for almost 1 year) and my last period started on 25/12/12.
For the past few days i've had a really weird sensation low down in my tummy - kind of like bubbles and occasional cramping. I've also got a really annoying lower backache and yesterday i started to feel a little sick I've had a thick creamy white/pale pink discharge and a sore left nipple for a couple of days also.
I usually only get period cramps and sore boobs the day before i'm due and the backache and discharge are new for me.
I can't find my IUD strings but i think this is because they were trimmed really short.
I've had sex with OH everyday since my last period but as i have an IUD i wasn't concerned!! I feel like i'm crazy for even worrying about these symptoms being pregnancy symptoms as i know an IUD is supposed to be very effective! I suppose i'm wondering how common IUD pregnancies are?? And do my symptoms sound like early signs of pregnancy or maybe a problem with my IUD??
Any advice or insight would be greatly appreiciated....
xx

Firstly congratulations on having sex every day! wow wish I had the energy.
The easy answer is take a test. My friends got pregnant with her IUD - it even showed up on the scans! If you dont want to spend the money go to the doctors and they will do one for you free of charge. Good luck!

My coil baby is due any day now so it's totally possible... sorry if that's not what you want to hear!
Get a test and get checked out as soon as possible because there's a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy. Also, the sooner you know, the more choices you have about continuing with the pregnancy or not. Either way, talk to a friend, family member, your partner - and there's always support on mumsnet! smile
Good luck x
