What to expect after the emergency IUD?

user1479497126 · 14/01/2017 19:17

Hi all, after having sex on Sunday night/Monday morning, the condom had split and I had started my pills a couple of days late.

Around 22 hours later, I took Levonelle as a precaution, but as I suffer from anxiety, I didn't completely trust it. So the next day, I had an emergency IUD fitted and was planning on keeping it in.

Since then, my discharge has completely changed. It's more of a snotty colour now, and there's more of it. However this morning, I found brown blood, as if it was the last day of my period. I'm worried what this is? This evening it has gone back to the snotty colour, which concerns me incase it's an implantation bleed?

I know it's ridiculously unlikely especially as I had the Morning after Pill as well, but I'm really confused as to where it's came from.

Sunday night/Monday Morning: Unprotected sex

Monday (10:30pm): Took Levonelle

Tuesday (7:30pm): Had Copper IUD fitted (Bleeding/Cramps that night)

Wednesday: Cramps/Snot discharge

Thursday & Friday: Snot discharge

Saturday (Morning): Dark Brown discharge/blood

Saturday (Afternoon/Evening): Snot discharge

Is this normal?

Did you have the coil removed OP?

Hi,

I haven't had it removed, no. I am going back to the clinic today though because I need to have a coil check up.

The bleeding stopped when I last posted (25th Jan), and quite suddenly too, which concerned me as it was quite heavy. I will talk to them about it tonight though.

I haven't had any PG symptoms apart from occasional mood swings (however I suffer from depression, so I put that down to that)

Because of how much the MAP and coil have messed me up, I don't know when to expect my next cycle, or even if this bleeding was a period, so I will ask about that tonight too.

So I'm getting really concerned again.

It's been 4 weeks since I had stopped bleeding and I haven't had a period yet. So I'd technically be a week late I think. If I were pregnant I think it would be 8 weeks now.

My anxiety is going into overdrive as the bleeding from last month was so strange although long, it ended very suddenly. I'm not convinced it was a period.

I don't feel like it's about to come yet either, usually I break out, and I haven't.

I keep telling myself things to reassure myself like I have no symptoms apart from the missed period, and the nurse at the clinic said there was no way I could be - but none of this is helping me.

I'm too scared to take a test. Any advice?
