The ring is normal, why are you pregnant?

Many mothers were confused when they heard the doctor say they were pregnant, because they had already worn an IUD, so how could they still be pregnant? The mothers were puzzled, but now they are indeed pregnant. At first they thought there was something wrong with the IUD, but later they found that the IUD was also normal. So, the mothers were puzzled, why were they pregnant when the IUD was normal?

The IUD is normal, why am I pregnant?

There are two common situations in which pregnancy occurs with an IUD: one is ectopic pregnancy, and the other is intrauterine pregnancy, with the IUD being in the wrong position. If it is the former, treatment for ectopic pregnancy needs to be carried out. If it is the latter, the contraceptive ring should be removed at the same time as the miscarriage. It is generally recommended to choose abortion, remove the contraceptive ring first and then perform artificial abortion at the same time. It is best not to choose medical abortion. The woman may have already been pregnant when the IUD was inserted but not discovered, which led to the illusion that she was pregnant with the IUD. It must be noted that this situation is most likely to occur during lactation. The position of the ring within the uterine body changes. For example, if the ring has been lowered to the bottom of the uterus, or even close to the cervix, it will not be able to prevent the implantation and development of the sperm and egg.

The size of the ring is not consistent with the size of the uterus. If the uterus is slightly larger and the ring inserted is smaller, the small ring will only occupy a part of the uterine cavity, and the remaining "empty space" can be invaded by sperm and egg, leading to pregnancy with the ring. If the ring is placed for a long time, the ring may be deformed in the uterus or the storage period of the ring in the uterus has expired. If it is not replaced in the hospital in time, the ring will not serve as a contraceptive measure in the uterus. A very small number of women have a deformed uterus. For example, in cases of uterine septate and uterus dormant, because there are "two rooms" in the uterus, they are not discovered when the IUD is inserted. The IUD is only inserted on one side, and the other side has no contraceptive effect. In a very small number of women, the uterine wall does not respond after the IUD is inserted, so the uterus is no longer suitable for the implantation of fertilized eggs and cannot play a contraceptive role.

Problems with the quality or shape of the ring itself can also lead to pregnancy while wearing the ring. If you get pregnant while having an IUD, you should still consider the possibility that the pregnancy was caused by abnormal placement of the IUD or dislocation. If the IUD is no longer effective as a contraceptive, you can wear it again, but you need to wear one that is the right size for you. This is a matter for your doctor. As long as the position of the ring is normal, it will have the actual effect of contraception.
