pregnant with IUD

by jessrk555, Aug 05, 2009 06:10PM
I am just over 7 weeks pregnent, and I have a copper IUD that is still in place. My OB/GYN tried to remove the IUD but was unable to do so. I cant find much information on this, and what my risks are. I read something about infections and a high percent of miscarrages. Im a little scared and cant find anything to educate myself with. Please help!!!

I know someone who delivered with an IUD in place, but also know someone who lost a pregnancy due to an IUD in place that couldn't be removed.  For this issue, you need good medical guidance.  You might get a second opinion as to whether the IUD can be removed.  I would also talk to a high-risk pregnancy specialist.  Good luck!

I agree, get a 2nd opinion and see someone who deals with high risk...

jessrk555, Hi, my name is Julie. I just wanted to say, that I am in your same situation. I am now 14 weeks pregnant with a copper IUD still in place. I have not been able to find any information on our situation either. It is so uncommon. If I can find anything, it is about someone who had their IUD removed.
It is nice to at least not feel so alone though. How is your pregnancy progressing? I hope it has been completely uneventful :)
