Default Is "have to" considered a state verb?

Hey everyone,

Ive already asked the question, yet got no satisfactory answer. Please would a native speaker tell me whether have to belongs in the group of state verbs (want, need, love), thus not being able to take on the -ing form?

Eg: Im having to study hard as Im sitting an exam next week.

Is the sentence correct or should I use I have to study, which I would probably say?

Thanks for help.

Waawe
