Answer
Dear Liz,

Nausea, headache, swollen/tender breasts, and back ache are some common early symptoms of pregnancy. But because you have the IUD, you are at a higher risk for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The symptoms you've described could also occur with PID. Due to this risk, my recommendation would be for you to see your doctor to make sure that PID is ruled out as a cause for your symptoms. I would suspect that he/she will also run a pregnancy test to rule that out as well and run a thyroid level to make sure that is within normal limits.

I hope this information has helped you and answered your questions. I wish you well.
