A member asked:

I had sex on the 20/4/15 at nite time and had my copper coil taken out 21/4/15 can i still get pregnant so soon.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Theoretically, yes: A copper IUD in place interferes with implantation of the fertilized egg. When it is removed, there is still a residual inhibitory effect on the endometrium from the copper for a few days, but there are no guarantees that it is enough to prevent pregnancy. So, yes, you can get pregnant when it was removed.
