how long can you be pregnant with an iud?
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a T-shaped device that an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) places in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. However, some can still become pregnant with an IUD. The IUD is an effective form of contraception. Fewer than 1 in 100 women will become pregnant within 1 year of use.
