Yes, but...: Pregnancy is very unlikely if a woman has an IUD. If worried, one can do a urine pregnancy test. A home urine test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test.

Hi there, Ive had an IUD (Mirena) for 5 years now. My husband and I probably want to get pregnant in 1 or 2 years. Do I need to renew it? If yes, can a GP do this or must I see a gynaecologist? Thank you!
