Patient's question:
Because I don't plan to have any more children, and I already have two babies, I had an IUD insertion a while ago. But recently, I've noticed that my period is delayed by several days, and I've also experienced a loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting again. I'm worried that I might be pregnant. Can an IUD cause an unexpected pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, all contraceptive methods have the possibility of success, but it's not 100%. If you experience the above situation again, you should go to a pharmacy or hospital to buy a pregnancy test kit to check if you are pregnant, so that you can solve the problem promptly and address the root cause. Implantable contraception methods can also lead to unintended pregnancies. Delayed menstruation, along with early pregnancy symptoms, may indicate pregnancy, but it could also be a possible side effect of medication.
