What are the chances of getting pregnant after having an IUD (intrauterine device) placed?
The contraceptive ring is a commonly used contraceptive method. After wearing the ring, the probability of pregnancy for women decreases, and compared to women who do not use contraceptives, the chances of pregnancy after wearing the ring are greatly reduced. This contraceptive method is highly safe and effective, but there is still a small probability of pregnancy with the ring. Therefore, it is not a 100% guarantee of contraception.
1. Low Probability of Pregnancy after Wearing the Ring
After wearing the contraceptive ring, the probability of pregnancy decreases, but it is not completely impossible. As a foreign object, the ring can prevent the implantation and development of the fertilized egg in the uterine cavity. Therefore, the chances of pregnancy are relatively low.
2. Complications after Wearing the Ring
A small number of women may experience pregnancy with the ring after wearing it. Overall, intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe and effective contraceptive tools and one of the main contraceptive measures. However, there are some complications after wearing the ring, including but not limited to the downward movement, falling off, or displacement of the ring. Once diagnosed, the IUD should be removed during the abortion procedure.
3. Regular Check-ups after Wearing the Ring
After wearing the ring, women are not completely safe, and regular check-ups are needed to avoid displacement of the contraceptive ring. Changes in the position of the contraceptive ring may also affect its effectiveness. Usually, during the first 3 months after wearing the ring, the position of the ring should be checked after each menstrual period, as the menstrual flow tends to increase during this period, which may easily cause displacement of the ring. Regular check-ups should be performed to avoid accidental pregnancy due to ring displacement.
