Unlikely : But never say never. Use condoms until you check with an OB/GYN. I'm not a big fan of IUDs,; anecdotally, I've just seen so many women with complications both shortly after placement, months or years later, and problems with menstrual cycles, miscarriages and trouble getting pregnant for years after having it removed.
