Pregnancy Info HOME

hi, I've had an IUD for about a year now, I always get my period like clock work, for about 10 days now I have been having pregnancy symptoms increasing by the day, I am about 1 week late on my period as well, give or take a few days. I have been preggo 3 times, and consider my self quite an expert at detecting the symptoms. I took 3 urine tests over the last 3 days, all negative, one was at th doc, she said everything was fine, there really was no room for suspician since I have an iud in place, she even did a pelvic and said the iud looked fine. I am so confused! I am very bloated, gained 3 lbs out of no where (no change in diet or excercise), I have been nausious, tired, breaking out with acne, head aches, constantly thirsty, peeing more often, increased clear vaginal discharge, yeast infection (something I always got when preg in the past), increased sex drive (also one of my symptoms), sensitivity to smell and the mild cramping that you get in the first trimester, I keep thinking its my period coming, but nothing. I'm so confused, after reading up on one of the forums, I was surprised to see how many others with iuds have gotten preggo, sure sounds like more than their 1% guarantee. I am going to get a blood test on wed. to double check. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in limbo. I've never had this problem in the past, if I was preg it would always show up right away. I would right it off as psychosymatic, but the symptoms started before I had any thought or notion of being preg. That was the last thing on my mind! Has anyone had negative tests a week after their missed period and still been pregnant? If the hormone is not prevalent enough to show up on the test, how am I already experiencing all these hormone-related symptoms?
