fertility preservation

Ask the doctor: Do I have to remove my IUD before I freeze eggs or embryos?

IUDs—both hormonal and copper—can stay in place throughout the egg or embryo freezing process. This is in contrast to other types of birth control, such as the pill, which needs to be paused before you start an egg or embryo freezing cycle.
