A member asked:

After iud removal can it cause ectopic pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you conceive the month after removal it may increase your risk slightly. History of an STD such as chlamydia or gonorrhea increases the risk also. However, most ectopics occur in women with no risk factors.
