Progesterone content in the IUD can increase tubal implantation.

Results:Women who used IUD had 9.33 times higher risk of ectopic pregnancy than women who did not use IUD (OR= 9.33; CI95%= 1.01 to 86.36; p = 0.049). The analysis has controlled for age as a confounding factor. Conclusion:There is relationship between IUD use and the risk for ectopic pregnancy, after controlling for age.
