Can I still get pregnant after having an IUD inserted?

Some couples do not plan to have more children after having children, so they will consider adopting long-term contraceptive methods, and IUD insertion is the most typical one. Using other methods, such as condoms, is not very cost-effective. So many women will consider using an IUD for contraception. However, no matter which method is used, the effectiveness of contraception is the most concerning thing. So, can you still get pregnant after having an IUD? Let’s take a look below.

How to avoid pregnancy with an IUD? The main thing is to eliminate some of the causes that may cause pregnancy with an IUD. Common causes of pregnancy with an IUD include:

1. The intrauterine contraceptive ring falls off but is not noticed, which will cause contraceptive failure.

2. Disease factors: When a woman has diabetes and her blood sugar is too high, the acidity of her body fluids will increase, causing the metal ring to corrode and affecting its contraceptive effect.

3. Improper placement of the ring. If the position of the IUD is not accurate, it may also cause contraceptive failure. If the ring is placed too low, close to the cervix, it will not inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg, thus failing to achieve the contraceptive effect.

4. Other factors, such as performing physical activities such as squatting after the IUD is inserted, or having sex too early, can cause the IUD to shift and fall off. Another situation is that the IUD is not replaced in time after being inserted for too long, or the IUD has been deformed or even broken. These factors can cause contraceptive failure.
