Will copper IUD cause birth defects in babies conceived with IUD in place?

there are chances. but an ultrasound will help to rule out such possibility >>>>> The text below is from an anti-abortion viewpoint, and is therefore unlikely to be a good, unbiased source of information. Anti-abortion (or "pro-life") people are likely to be against the use of IUDs because they interfere with egg implantation, including fertilized eggs. If you are of a religious persuasion that believes a human life begins at the joining of a sperm and an egg, then the information below is for you. >>>> > IN OTHER WORDS: YES. Even the manufacturers have been forced to admit publicly that IUD cause birth defects. Since it can be up to 8 weeks before a woman even knows she's pregnant, huge amounts of damage can already be done, especially by the hormonal IUD's - but by the copper ones also. Female steroids in utero are particularly damaging to male embryoes and fetuses, for obvious reasons. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7333 [above link only provides information on oral contraceptives] Remember that a heart has already formed and is beating just 21 days after conception. People are kept in the dark as to just how rapidly a child develops in utero by the companies making millions harming them and pretending it's no big deal. In addition, it has been proven - and admitted by the makers - that an IUD increases the risk of premature births also. And, obviously, this is a second way that the IUD causes birth defects.

No one knows for sure how often the IUD prevents conception, and how often it ends a pregnancy after conception. But everyone agrees that it does BOTH. And, naturally, it has a very harmful affect on a developing child as he or she is first developing and nourishing even before his or her mother knows that she is pregnant. http://www.physiciansforlife.org/content/view/182/36/

In an application for a patent, the makers have to be very accurate and honest - in stark contrast to the slick marketing youe see on the internet and in the media..

"The action of the IUDs would seem to be a simple local phenomenon. That these devices prevent nidation [implantation] of an already fertilized ovum has been accepted as the most likely mechanism of action." (Searle Laboratories, "For the patient: CU-7 brand of Intrauterine Copper Contraceptive, " Chicago: G.D. Searle Co., August 1, 1977, Pgs. 7-9)

You are on birth control and take every pill but you've been having cramping and light pink discharge could this be from skipping your period last month with the pills or could you be pregnant?

You will probably find that this is your period "trying" to start. Your body is a little confused as it should've been allowed to bleed but hasn't been given the signal to start as you skipped. Many low dosage pills don't have strength enough to allow you to skip and you will bleed anyway.

What do you do if the condom comes off inside your partner?

The next thing you need to do is get her to the doctor for the morning-after pill.

Yes, you are involved in the making of this so you need to drive her to see the doctor. (Who will consider it an emergency and stay open later or on Saturday)

Or try the accident and emergency department of your local hospital.

Your girlfriend won't be the first or last person to approach them for this. It is far from embarrassing but unwanted children are far from convenient too.

Don't forget, once you drop her off back at home you can then get in a 'quickie' without having to wear a condom! (Before she takes the pills)
