Copper coil but I’m pregnant

Hi I’ve name changed. I’m so upset. I had the copper coil fitted in mid feb, had one period at the end of March and nothing since. I’m breastfeeding and my lo had started night waking more so put the absence of periods down to feeding more regularly again. Last week or so ive been really tired and feeling a bit queasy, so decided to tests for Peace of mind, never expected that it would come back positive. It has 3+ weeks! As far as I can tell I can feel my coil strings, so assumed it was in place, what the hell could have happened? What do I need to do? I think both dh and I are decided that we can’t have another child right now. We are lodging at my mums with 2 as it is. Youngest is 9 months. I feel my body has barely recovered from last pregnancy and birth. Will an abortion affect my milk supply? I’m terrified that I’m going to be 3 months along, is an abortion at this stage really horrible? Sorry for the ramble I’m in total shock.

Hello, you poor thing! What a shock. Just to reassure you that I BF my DD while pregnant with my DS and it did not affect my mil supply. And abortion won’t either, just keep feeding as you are Flowers

Hi thanks for your reply. That’s reassuring to know. I’ve since learned from a friend that falling pregnant with iud in place increases risk of eptopic pregnancy too so I’m hoping that it’s all going to be fairly quick and straight forward to sort out!
