A member asked:

I had my paragaurd iud in for 4 years. i had unprotected sex a day prior to removal. what are the odds of me being pregnant? i was ovulating. hpt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is possible: It is possible to get pregnant as once the IUD is removed its' inhibiting effects on the endometrium are diminished allowing implantation. The IUD works by preventing implantation of an existing conceptus.
