    How do I know if I'm pregnant while using an IUD
    I am a mother of two lil' girls ages 3 and 2. I have been using an IUD (mirena) for 2 years now. Is it possible that I could be pregnant?. I have my periods but it's very light... I'll bleed like 1 or 2 days... also I tend to eat a lot than usual... sometimes I can feel something in my stomach... like a fish swimming around... lol.. sometimes I have pain under my tummy... could it be possible?

    I would strongly suggest that you go to your doctors, get a pregnancy test and an ultra sound to see if the IUD is in place and there is no baby in there.

    It's really the only way to find out.

    That's what an ultra sound is for.

    I have an IUD. It's a copper one though.

    It's best to go see your doctor, it'll be the only way you will know for sure.

    The something you feel in your "tummy" could simply be gas or peristalysis (movement of food through the intestines). If you are concerned, visit your doctor for a blood test. Remember when doing HPTs to use first morning urine.
