Anytime: An iud should not change your hormone levels. If you have not had a period in over 1 month, you should do a pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant.

I am almost 40. Seem to be going thru some perimenapause. In the last week have been very emotional, tender breast. I use an IUD. Took a pregnancy test and after 30 minutes it came back positive. Is there a chance the results are just from hormones?
