Delayed Periods, Have Inserted Copper T. Could Cu-T Have Disfunctioned ?
I was inserted a Copper T a year back, and my periods were regular since then. However, it has been more than 50 days now since I had my last period. I have a doubt, whether I have got the pregnancy, as I checked with the Pregnancy test card which is showing positive. Pls let me know, is there a posibility of the PT card show a error result? or the Loop (Coper-T) might have disfunctioned?

Hello
Thanks for your quer.
The urine pregnancy test is 97 % reliable in diagnosing a pregnancy.
If it is showing a positive result, you are undoubtedly pregnant.
Pregnancies with the Copper T in situ are rare, but they do occur.
Please consult a Gynaecologist immediately if you wish to terminate the pregnancy.
take care.
