That time was the most frustrating and depressing time of my life! My hubby and I had planned to have another baby so we had the copper IUD removed. I waited one month before trying to concieve. When I did from the time the test showed positive, I knew something wasn't right. I kept having sharp pains in my right side that would doble me over in pain and then pass blood every time the pains hit. I went to the Dr and had repeated blood work HCG that showed normal. Dr could not understand why nothing was in the Uterus. We had a hurricane that was coming through and the Dr cancelled my appointment and told me go to the emergency room if needed. I was helping my hubby prepare and sure enough started gushing blood. I went to the hospital and they got me automatically in, dr checked cervix, was closed and US was done. Baby on right side of ovary. Was in hospital for 3 days, constantly crying for a month. I don't believe in abortion and that hurt me most of all!! I got pregant 2 months later. My biggest fear is that I just had the mirena iud removed and I sure don't want a repeat.
