Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Fine but...: It is fine to use emergency contraception while using a paragard iud. The only issue is that it is not necessary. Paragard iuds are very effective. It is not necesssary to take emergency contraception when you have an iud. You are already protected.
