A member asked:
If a paragard copper iud becomes a little out of place is there higher risk of pregnancy? and if so by how much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paraguard: "a little out of place" is hard to qualify, but if the iud remains in the upper portion of your uterus (not the lower segment or cervical canal) then your chances of pregnancy are much less than 1%.
