Hi,
My IUD came out yesterday (unfortunately while removing a mooncup - so annoying!). I just wanted to check a few things:
1) As I effectively pulled it out by accident do I need to go for a checkup - presumably this can't cause any injury? I feel ok, just a little achy.
2) As I'd been on a period, the last time I had sex was about 6 or 7 days ago -presumably I don't now need to worry about a pregnancy from this as the iud would have most likely killed any sperm hanging around before then?
Thanks!
Can you record a brief video of yourself talking about how Scarleteen has helped you? We're looking for clips for a fundraising video in the new year, and we'd love to have you involved! You can find out more, including how and where to upload your video, here: Scarleteen’s Project For Awesome 2025 submission! Our deadline for these is December 23rd 2024!

Re: IUD Expelled?
Hi Lilly,
No, I don't believe you need to be concerned about the sex you had several days ago. However, if you have not already done so, I would schedule a check-up with the healthcare provider who inserted the IUD so you two can discuss the next steps.

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
