Your question?: You have provided a great deal of information and did exactly the right thing when the test was positive if your doctor's office was unavailable but you neglected to ask a question. Try again and we'll be happy to help.

ER visit: You were smart to go to the ER after a positive pregnancy test with an IUD. You did not finish the story but hopefully they took good care of you and solved your problem.
