Can a woman get pregnant with an IUD?

The main purpose of women wearing IUDs is to prevent pregnancy. Generally speaking, its contraceptive effect is very good. Of course, there is a certain chance that women wearing IUDs will become pregnant. Once this happens, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Also, if you want to get pregnant again. The IUD should also be removed in time, and then preparations for pregnancy should be made.

Can a woman get pregnant with an IUD?

The IUD can play a contraceptive role after insertion, but so far, the effectiveness of any contraceptive measure cannot reach 100%. It is possible that the ring has fallen off without the patient noticing; the ring is located low in the uterine cavity, close to the cervical opening, and cannot inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg; the size of the ring is not suitable for the size of the uterine cavity, or the ring has been deformed and has lost its contraceptive effect; the endometrium does not respond to the contraceptive ring, and the contraceptive effect cannot be achieved, etc.

The intrauterine device (commonly known as the IUD) mainly achieves the contraceptive effect by changing the natural environment in the uterine cavity, affecting the development and implantation of the fertilized egg, etc. It is widely accepted by women because of its safety, effectiveness, simplicity, economy and reversibility. At present, the main intrauterine contraceptive devices used clinically are copper-containing intrauterine devices (such as TCu200, TCu220C, etc.). In recent years, some new types of drug-release intrauterine contraceptive devices have emerged that can release low doses of drugs locally in the uterine cavity. In addition to contraception, they can also treat certain gynecological diseases.

Although IUD is a simple and safe contraceptive method, it also has some adverse reactions and complications. If the IUD is improperly placed, or does not match the size and shape of the uterine cavity, it may cause the IUD to fall off or move downward. The downward movement of the IUD will affect the contraceptive effect and cause pregnancy with the device. Each intrauterine contraceptive device has a certain expulsion rate and pregnancy rate. According to statistics, TCu200

The one-year shedding rate was 5.61%, and the pregnancy rate with an IUD was 1.51%. The complications of the new intrauterine contraceptive device are significantly reduced, and the 5-year cumulative expulsion rate and pregnancy rate with the device are both less than 1%.

It can be seen that it is still possible for women of childbearing age to become pregnant after having an IUD inserted. If pregnancy is confirmed, it is not advisable to continue the pregnancy considering the effect of the intrauterine device on the embryo. In addition, the intrauterine device is a contraindication for medical abortion, so an artificial abortion should be performed as soon as possible to terminate the pregnancy.

How long after the IUD is removed can I get pregnant?

It is best to wait for more than half a year before getting pregnant again after removing the IUD. To determine whether you are pregnant, you need to take an early pregnancy test. Generally, the result is more accurate if you do it 18 days after having sex or about a week after your menstrual cycle is overdue. Some women have difficulty getting pregnant in the short term after the IUD is removed. This is mainly because the intrauterine ring causes chronic inflammation by irritating the surrounding tissues and organs when it is in the uterine cavity. You should check whether there is inflammation in the cervical canal and fallopian tube, whether the endometrium is normal, etc. If there is inflammation, you should wait until the treatment improves before trying to get pregnant again.

As long as the doctor examines and excludes contraindications to the placement of the IUD, such as genital inflammation or tumors, uterine malformations, severe uterine prolapse, severe old cervical lacerations, etc., the IUD can be placed and it will not have an adverse effect on future fertility. But how long after the IUD is removed can you get pregnant? Women who have worn IUDs should wait for a period of time (2-3 normal menstrual cycles) before conceiving when planning to get pregnant, so as to give the endometrium time to recover and facilitate eugenics.
