A member asked:

I am trying to get pregnant with my husband. my copper iud was removed today, we had sex for 3 days in a row about 2-3 days before the removal. is it possible to be pregnant from that sex? my last period was around aug 9?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it is possible but unlikely as the copper IUD will produce "irritation" to the endometrium (liming of the womb) which will make sperm travel and ovum implantation exceeding difficult for attempting pregnancy. Once the IUD is gone, Good Luck!

Dr Davantzis and another doctor agreed
