pregnant with IUD?

Is it possible that I could be pregnant while having and IUD? I've been so queasy for the last week or so and I can't figure out why. I haven't had my period yet, although I don't really know when I should expect it cause I didn't mark down the date of the first day of my last period... I got pregnant with my first daughter while on the pill, so I guess it wouldn't amaze me too much if I was now... just wondered how frequently it acutally happens.. any thoughts or info would be appreciated.

It is possible. It happened to me with a ParaGard in place. I ended up having a miscarriage but I was very freaked out at the time.

I have the paragaurd IUD in place.. the strings are a bit long to begin with, so I can't really tell if anything has changed.. I don't feel anything but the strings though. I have had the IUD for a little over a year, just about 6 weeks after the birth of my second daughter. We don't plan on having any more kids, but then I've been feeling so crummy that I am beginning to think that there might be a chance I am pregnant again... I think I'll wait a few days and if nothing changes, I'll get a test. THanks for the info! I appreciate it!

i had a mirena IUD removed a few days ago and i had it put in 6 weeks after my second DS was born. last month i felt like i was pregnant but i wasnt. i stopped getting a regular period a few months after i had it put in. i would spot a couple days a month but that was it.

Hi, yes it is possible. I had an IUD and got pregnant in one of my tubes. I came close to dying. I had emergency surgery to remove the pregnancy from my tube. They repaired the tube but I was left badly scared in more ways than one. Nothing changed about the IUD. I just started feeling pregnant and then one day I started bleeding. I called my doc and went to see him the same day. My sugery was within a few hours of seeing him.
