Patient's question:
Menstruation is delayed by half a month, breast tenderness has lasted for 10 days, early pregnancy test shows a faint positive, and I have had an IUD for a year.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to wait for one menstrual period after removing the IUD before getting pregnant. If the IUD you have is a copper one, the impact on the fetus should not be significant after removal. There are also cases where pregnancy occurred while still using the IUD, and the IUD came out along with the baby, with no harm to the baby. Such babies are usually considered viable, but if you are very concerned, you can make your own decision after careful consideration.
