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....
