Came Off Copper IUD, Have Mirena. Did Not Use Condoms. Likely To Get Pregnant?

Hi I have had my copper IUD in for 5 years now and has just expired on the 15th of July I had an appointment to have it taken and replaced but the doctor was not trained with the copper coil only the marina. She was adament must use condoms during intercourse but me and my partner didn't 3 times now am I likely to fall pregnant because of this? Or what are the chances of me falling pregnant because of this?

hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic,
your IUD were expired and you were not on any birth control method.. so if it was your fertile day on which you had intercourse there are chances of getting pregnant..
if it is not more then 72 hours take i pill asap and its second dose after 12 hour..
if its already more then 72 hours but less than 5 days then asap go for IUD insertion so even if you got pregnant IUD will not allow implantation..
if its already more than 5 days also then wait for your period if you do not get periods then after week take urine pregnancy test or you can go for beta hcg level or ultrasound as last two test are more confirmatory..
hope this helps you..
take care..
