What every woman should know about the Navy
The intrauterine device, contrary to the opinion of many girls, does not apply to postcoital contraceptives. In other words, if fertilization has already occurred, the IUD will not be the cause / method of abortion.
According to some reports, from 12 to 44% of cycles result in spontaneous miscarriage, which a woman may not even suspect. If this does not happen, the pregnancy is established, most likely, the doctor will recommend an abortion, since the baby can be born prematurely and with pathologies. When the spiral grows, it is removed through abdominal surgery.
