Question
i have the iud and think i may be pregnant. if i am, would i lose the baby when i take out the iud??
Answer
If you are pregnant you should have the IUD removed as soon as possible to help prevent any risks of complications with pregnancy. If removed very early in pregnancy there usually is a low risk of any complications. You should definitely make an appointment with your doctor asap.
