Hi all. I'm 11 weeks pregnant with a copper IUD. The strings are not visible and I'm looking to have the IUD removed as it seems the risks of continuing the pregnancy with the IUD are too high.
What my doctor told me and what the internet seems to say in regards to miscarriage during the removal seems to be very different.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?

Ive not been through this. I would ask your doctor what the plan is going forwards. If they cant safely remove it they wont.

When I had IUD (not pregnant) and they couldn’t find the strings , my doctor told me to try going somewhere else before discussing having it surgically removed. Not saying that to scare you. I was able to go to planned parenthood and they were able to find the strings and pull it out within minutes.

I would get a 2nd opinion from a doc
