What are the odds of an IUD falling out?

Answer 1

Yes it can. In fact mine did.

Between 2 and 10% of IUDs fall out (usually in the first year of use).

The risk of expulsion is increased if:

an IUD was inserted right after delivery

an IUD has fallen out previously

you have never been pregnant

Answer 2

I am writing this response 2 hours after My Non hormonal IUD fell out. I was having a very very rough period with a lot of bleeding and blood clots. Soaking through Super plus absorbency Tampons and still flooding pads together twice a hour for over a day. Then I felt some terrible pains worse than contractions from having my children I got up went to the bathroom and I felt what felt like the largest blood clot over coming out. I looked at it when it came out and it was wrapped around my IUD. I called my doctor and the nurse said I did not need to be seen right away for the IUD issue. But that my heavy bleeding was a issue and I needed to be seen for that. I am going to see them tomorrow. I am still cramping and I feel very sore in my vaginal area as of now. I hope this helps answer your question.

Answer 3

If an IUD slips out of place, you could be at risk for pregnancy. Use a backup method until your health care provider can check the IUD. If you've had sex in the last five days, consider using the morning after pill.

Answer 4

If by any chance an IUD gets discharged then there is always a chance of a pregnancy accuring without either of you two knowing or being ready for it.

Answer 5

you need to have an examination by a doctor to see if it has come out. they have been known to move internally. if it has come out completely you would have known!!

Answer 6

The IUD looks the same coming out as it did going in, except with some mucus or blood adhering.
