To switch from the IUD to the Birth Control pill, start taking the pill seven days before IUD removal if possible. Otherwise, start the pill the day of IUD removal and use a backup method of birth control for the first seven days. (The exception: if you get Paragard removed and start the pill during the first five days of your period, no backup is necessary. That doesn't work with the hormonal IUDs, though.)

To change from the pill to the IUD, continue your pill until the day of the IUD insertion, plus seven more days.
