I want to take out my IUD

Megan

Hi guys!

I’ve been thinking recently about getting my IUD removed.

I have the copper iud, and it’s been really great so far with preventing pregnancies ofc

But since having it in I’ve had a load of anxiety. I keep thinking it’s gonna perforate, or that I’m gonna be one of the unlucky ones who gets pregnant with it and I know it’s much more dangerous if that happens & I don’t wanna have to go through any miscarriages or abortion etc. I’ve had it almost 1 year and feeling like this all the time as you can imagine is getting to be a bit much.

apart from just using a condom and avoiding the ovulation dates etc.. are there any other non hormonal contraceptives I can use?

Thanks in advance!
