Baby born with the mother's IUD stuck to his head! Use birth control they said…✌🏽 IUD's (intrauterine devices) are 99% effective... ladies and gentleman, meet the 1% 👶 IUD is a small T-shaped contraceptive implantable device that is used to prevent pregnancy. The main types are hormonal (progesterone-releasing) and non-hormonal (copper-containing) IUD’s. IUDs primarily work by preventing fertilization. The progestogen released from hormonal IUDs mainly works by thickening the cervical mucus, preventing sperm from reaching the fallopian tubes. IUDs may also function by preventing ovulation from occurring but this only occurs partially. Copper IUDs do not contain any hormones, but release copper ions, which are toxic to sperm. They also cause the uterus and fallopian tubes to produce a fluid that contains white blood cells, copper ions, enzymes, and prostaglandins, which is also toxic to sperm. The very high effectiveness of copper-containing IUDs as emergency contraceptives implies they may also act by preventing implantation of the blastocyst on to the uterine wall. This little fellow made it through against all chances. Made the impossible - possible. .
