Second IUD pregnancy

[lehedgehog]

I've recently found out I'm pregnant, and my copper IUD is happily sitting where it always has, in the correct place. This is my second IUD pregnancy, and the last time it was also in the right place. As I understand it, this is exceptionally rare, as most of the doctors I've seen have never even seen an IUD pregnancy before, and the one that had, said that IUD had become dislodged.

I can't use hormonal contraception, so my options are limited, but I'm wondering if there might be a problem with my uterus or some other issue I haven't considered, and that maybe the copper coil doesn't work for me. I don't know how I would find this out, whether I should be asking my doctor to check my anatomy or run some other test.

I've only had this IUD since February, so it's worrying to have it fail so quickly. Any advice or similar experiences are appreciated.

Bump, I guess general health isn't as active as some of the other topics.

Do you happen to have a tilted uterus, do you know? I've recently had my IUD removed due to issues with my tilted uterus causing unusual bleeding due to how the IUD sits in it, and I know of a couple of other people who have had theirs fall out or other issues with the IUD due to having a tilted uterus. Seems like they should check for this before fitting an IUD to start with

No doctor has ever mentioned this, but I'll definitely ask when I go next week, as I'm having an exam anyway. I've had a couple of IUDs fall out in the past, but hadn't realised that could be connected. Thank you for your input!
