No: If you have a copper IUD in place, it is very unlikely you are pregnant. If you then did a negative pregnancy test, it is certain you are not pregrnant. There are many other causes of cramping, bloating, nausea, and other symptoms of pregnancy, so if you are concerned, see your doctor for an evaluation.

Copper IUD's: With an IUD of any type, continued bleeding with a negative pregnancy test can indicate an ectopic pregnancy which produces less HCG and pregnancy tests can be negative See your healthcare provider asap to make certain you do not have a pregnancy in your tube (ectopic). IUD's only protect against uterine pregnancies.
