ive had my paragard inserted a couple months ago and im 13 days late on my period. ive taken two pg test one was neg and the other was invalid. Has anyone else had this problem? should i be worried about being pregnant?

Just keep trying preg. tests. Your body may just be adjusting yet. Otherwise you can call your doctor and see if its normal. Do you like your paragard? I am considering one...

Yes i like it. the only thing that bothers me is i get really bad back pain from it but other than that its great except for what going on now.

Depends on how old you are. As we get older, of course, our periods may become more irregular.

In any case, hope you found some resolution on this. And I've had my paragard for 9 years now; it's great and I'm getting a new one soon. No problems whatsoever other than the strings sort of curled out of reach a few years in (had the gyn confirm the IUD is still properly in place via an ultrasound).
