Can I use an IUD if I want to have a baby in the future?

Totally! If you don’t want to be pregnant right now but think you might want to have a baby in the future, the IUD doesn’t change your chances of getting pregnant once it’s removed. When you want to be pregnant, just have the IUD removed and your body will return to whatever level of fertility is normal for you.
