If you become pregnant on the IUD what are the chances of having a successful pregnancy? Dealing with a lot of guilt here. Have any of you had that happen and had a successful pregnancy?


First of all I was on here a week or so ago asking if the pain I was feeling was normal. The physical pain has subsided but the mental/emotional stuff won't go away.

I'm on the Paragard

Here is what is going on:

I'm going to get the IUD removed next Thursday. I'm not pregnant and I'm not planning on becoming pregnant. I had a lot of doubts about getting the IUD, I got it 8 weeks after having my daughter. 2 weeks later I want it out. Yes its physically uncomfortable, but more so emotionally.

I have been told before I got it on the off chance you do get pregnant on it , chances of a sucessful pregnancy are rare. So if that were to happen, I don't how I'd come back from it. The guilt would be too much because it would be my fault because I chose this form of birth control. Infact I'm already dealing with guilt and nothing has happened. I'm afraid to have sex, my husband thinks its him and its not. This was supposed to be a good form of birth control where I wouldn't have to worry about having sex. But I'm actually terrified to because of the whole what if it doesn't work, what if I get pregnant and miscarry? That whole thing.

So the fear and the guilt coupled with the pain and discomfort make me want to get rid of this?

So before I go and get this think taken out what are the chances if something does go wrong and it doesn't work and I become pregnant of the pregnancy actually making it to term?


I know this probably sounds totally crazy, because I am on this because I don't want to get pregnant. Yet I worry about what happens if I do.


(I talked to my doc who said the chances of even getting pregnancy are so low I shouldn't worry about it, that didn't make me feel any better. Its all I think about right now the what if I do, its so consuming.)

I know i should have went with the pill all along other than letting the current financial situation, and my mother, and my husband sway me to get the IUD.

Anyways thanks



Also without insurance any idea how much the pill would be a month?

Thanks
