SISTER WAS 7 WKS PREGNANT
| Tue, 02-24-2004 - 11:22pm |
My sister was 7 weeks pregnant, got pregnant even though she was using the IUD. She lost her baby this afternoon. Noone should ever have to go through this. I don't believe the 99.3% effective statement is true.

I'm so sorry you find yourself in such a difficult position. You should be guided by your doctor's experience and advice. Prescribing information on both the ParaGard and Mirena sites say a pregnancy with an IUD inserted can be life threatening to the mother. You might want to drop by the Parents Place High Risk Pregnancy board at http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-pphighrisk for support. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs,

Great news! He removed the IUD today and all seems well with baby. So now it will be one day at a time, hoping to avoid miscarriage, infection and potentially septic abortion or very early delivery (24-37 weeks). It will be high risk throughout the pregnancy, but I feel okay about what to watch out for and when to get to a hospital if things go bad.
I had a miscarriage last August and it was devistating. This time I feel better prepared for the possible loss. Let's just say I won't be buying maternity clothes until I really need them and won't be getting a nursery ready any time soon. We made it through the first step and can only hope that the end of the story is a happy one. For now, its wait and see.
Thank you all for your advice and support.
Great news! Look in on the High Risk Pregnancy board they may be able to help too.
Hugs and prayers
