How do you get pregnant with an IUD in?

In: Birth Control [Edit categories]

Answer:

And IUD is only 99% effective...so while it is unlikely, it is still possible to become pregnant with an IUD in place. It is important to note that these pregnancies can result in dangerous consequences for the mother. It is important that if you are to become pregnant in this manner, the IUD should be immediately removed. At that point, a woman can continue or terminate the pregnancy as she prefers. If she chooses an abortion, she can have a new IUD inserted after the termination, or can choose a different birth control method. Despite all the risks, it is possible to give birth to a normal, healthy baby.
