General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
If Cu T is in place tgere is no possibility of pregnancy nor the pregnancy could be detected 8 days before periods by testing.
Such bleeding could be due to displaced Cu T with probable early pregnancy/cervical polyp/pelvic inflammation /urinary bladder infection./hormonal imbalance
You should take rest. Take over the counter pain medicine after food....
You need detailed examination immediately if the bleeding continues or pain increases . Even if everything goes well... get examined by a gynecologist to check for Cu T or infection or any other problem.
Thanks.
