Hello
I have the copper coil fitted, I had a normal period at the end of october, it was a week late and ended up coming early November. I had next period, almost on time (5th December), my periods do tend to be more of a throw darts at a calendar situation rather than actually being able to predict them. The period in December was unusually light, few days, was reasonably pleasant. Didn't suspect anything was just grateful to not have the more often monthly massacre. I have had light periods before. Then Xmas eve I had what I thought was another period starting, some cramps, and bit of fresh blood. But it stopped after few hours. Next day some old blood but nothing heavy, touch of fresh. Very odd. Little more discomfort in left hip. My hip has been tight for a few weeks but have been doing the higher level on my work out DVD so just thought I need to go and see the physio to get loosened out.
Googled spotting, as originally I thought it was literally only just that, some fresh spots seen in underwear. Quickly learned it can be in various forms. Panic... Worried now I might be ill as surely can't be from pregnancy because I have the coil... wrong. Did a test just because its the only thing I can check at home on boxing day and PREGNANT. Shocked was an understatement. On the positive side I do not think I am sick so am not worrying about random bleeding until can see a doctor, but wow, never actually in my life expected to be looking at a positive pregnancy test!
Have decided not to freak out, to much, until have seen the doctor and gotten all the facts. But still then have to decide what to do. So many factors to consider.. how far along I am, is the test actually correct, is it ectopic, can I even afford a baby, what will work say if we keep it, will we cope if I don't?
So after all that, how accurate is a pregnancy test? Used a digital one twice, both times pregnant, so not trying to decide if I can see aline or not. Clear as day, pregnant.
Did a test in november when period was late just incase and it was neg so can only just be pregnant, if the test is true.
No other symptoms, other than I can't seem to remember anything, if that is even a symptom, and the spotting. Cramps have stopped. Feel totally normal at the moment, physically anyway. Please help can I trust the test or not?
