IUD expulsion can occur in a small percentage of women in the first year after insertion. Expulsion can be more likely for women who [1]:
\nPartial expulsion may mean that the IUD was not quite in the right position: it may have been too low in the uterus and just worked its way out. This could be something that happened around the time of insertion or may be related to uterine characteristics, such as size, angle, or presence of conditions like fibroids that can cause irregular shape. For women who have an IUD expulsion, the chance of expelling a 2nd IUD may be higher – in the 20% range (up to 30% in some studies)[1].
