Scared if girlfriend with IUCD coil is pregnant

Resolved question:
I had sex with a girl 3 and a half months ago. I am terrified she is pregnant. 2 weeks after sex, we did a pregnancy test and it came back negative. 3 months after having sex we did another 2 pregnancy tests, both of which came back negative. I did not ejaculate in her, we had sex for 5-10 minutes. She also has the coil in her. Her periods have apparently been strange. 2 weeks after we had sex she bled alot, for around 2 weeks, but then for 2 months she did not bleed. Is she pregnant? Can I trust the test results?

Hello,

Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.

Yes you can trust these results and you partner is most likely NOT pregnant. I assume that you had a sexual encounter 3 and half months back and no sexual intercourse after that. (Please correct me if I am wrong).

The first pregnancy test you have done could be bit early (which was done in 2 weeks). But since the other urine tests were negative and since she had a bleeding 2 weeks after the sex it is not likely that she is pregnant. The fact that she had bleeding after 2 weeks means the embryo is not successfully implanted, in any case. In addition she has a coil (IUDevice) which further negates the risk of pregnancy.

The irregular periods could be due to a lot of reasons, most common being stress or slight internal hormonal imbalance. This is should correct by itself and usually no treatment is needed. But the problem persists for more than a month she should visit a OBGYN.

Hope this helps
