A member asked:
My girlfriend and i had sex in early dec 2014. she has an iud. she claims that on jan 24 2015 she had a miscarriage. is this possible?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pregnancy: The likelihood of a pregnancy occurring with an iud in place is very low. Perhaps it was removed?

Unlikely...but: The failure rate of IUD's runs less than 1%/yr of use. In medicine we always know never to say always or never, so the likelihood of it being true is minimal but possible.
