Pregnancy while using an IUD?

Becoming pregnant while using an IUD is extremely rare although it is possible. When a woman does become pregnant using an IUD it is very important for her to notify her doctor immediately. Your OBGYN will attempt to remove it if you were to become pregnant, and sadly, it is very common to lose the pregnancy during or following this procedure. However, it is very rare that there is any harm to the mother, and you may choose to have a new IUD replanted right away or not. Unless there were severe complications or trauma, there's no reason to assume you can't get pregnant again following an IUD pregnancy.

Pregnancy with an IUD

If you become pregnant with an IUD in place, your doctor will recommend that the IUD be removed. This is because the IUD can cause miscarriage or preterm birth (the IUD will not cause birth defects). Taking out an IUD early in a pregnancy lowers risks of miscarriage or preterm birth. But IUD removal can also cause a miscarriage. As a pregnancy progresses, miscarriage risk is lower if an IUD is removed than if it is left in place.1

When to call your doctor

When using an IUD, be aware of warning signs of a more serious problem related to the IUD.

Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms. Remember the word "PAINS." Each letter stands for a word associated with a problem:

* Period is late with a copper IUD, or you have abnormal spotting or severe bleeding

* Abdominal pain, severe cramping, or abdominal pain with sexual intercourse

* Infection with or exposure to a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or symptoms of a vaginal infection, such as abnormal vaginal discharge

* Not feeling well or having a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher

* Strings from IUD are missing or are longer or shorter than normal

Call your doctor to schedule an appointment if you:

* Cannot feel the strings of your IUD. (Use condoms as backup birth control until your doctor has checked your IUD.)

* Have severe or prolonged vaginal bleeding.

* Miss a menstrual period, unless you have the LNg IUD. It is normal to miss a period or stop menstruating while you are using the LNg IUD, and this is not a cause for concern. If you have an LNg IUD and miss your period and wonder if you are pregnant, talk with your doctor. IUDs are highly effective, but if you are concerned, you may want to have a pregnancy test to find out for sure.
