Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

First of all do not panic.
If your IUD is totally lying in the cervix, it can be safely removed out.
It will not cause any harm to your baby.
If removed from cervix it has no chance of causing any infection or even there are no chances of miscarriage.
You should be happy that IUD is in the cervix, and is away from the pregnancy and bag of membranes.
I will suggest use of Micronized progesterone as a support -200 mg 2 times a day for a week.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
