A member asked:

My iud was on for 5yrs then took it off. month after i had unprotected sex.bwhat are the chances i could be pregnant & can the baby have birth defects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

4 days after: removal, the hormone levels from the IUD are essential gone, ovulation could occur about 2 - 3 weeks after removal. Approximately a 20 % chance of pregnancy if you had sex and were ovulating at that time. Risk of birth defects are still low at your age and no effect from the former IUD at this point.
