Question

GIrlfriend has a IUD, (not the copper one, the other) did not use protection two nights in a row, should I get a morning after? from what I understand in a five year period 7-1000 are the pregnancy odds

Answer 1

Hi,
The IUD that your girlfriend has works in the same way the pill does, by decreasing the amount of lining she has in her uterus, increasing cervical mucus, and decreasing the risks of implantation of an egg. All of these factors make the IUD she has perfect for preventing pregnancy. With this IUD in place there is no need for extra methods of contraception, such as emergency contraception (morning after), nor condoms. As long as your girlfiend checks occassionally that her IUD is still in place, then it should work perfect for the 5 years it is designed to do so for.

Answer 2

You should still use a condom, you never now if she gets it removed and does not tell you. You should use a condom to protect YOU from any unwanted child. As for getting the morning after pill, don't get it unless you think she might be lying to you about her IUD. But for real, use a condom cuz you just never know.

Answer 3

i've had the iud for over a year and never had any scares with it. you could always get the pill for an extra precaution, but i wouldn't really worry about it. she could buy a pregnancy test. they have ones that are supposed to know asap. you have a lot of options. the iud is 99.9% effective.
