How likely is pregnancy with a displaced IUD?

You can get pregnant while using an IUD, but it’s very unlikely. Less than 1% of women with copper or hormonal IUDs get pregnant each year. An IUD should stay in your uterus to prevent pregnancy. But sometimes it can move out of place and slip into your cervix, which is below your uterus.

How likely is it for an IUD to move?

The rates of IUD expulsion fall somewhere between . 05% and 8%.

When do pregnancy symptoms start?

It takes about 2 to 3 weeks after sex for pregnancy to happen. Some people notice pregnancy symptoms as early as a week after pregnancy begins — when a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of your uterus. Other people don’t notice symptoms until a few months into their pregnancy.

Why do I feel pregnant but negative tests?

If you feel pregnant but had a negative test result, you may have experienced a very early miscarriage (also known as a chemical pregnancy). This occurs when there is a problem with the fertilized egg, most commonly a chromosomal disorder that makes the pregnancy non-viable.
