Abstract
To raise awareness of forgotten intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs). Case report. District general hospital in London. Two women, one with secondary infertility and one with heavy, painful periods, both unaware they had an IUD. Removal of the forgotten IUD. Return of fertility and improvement in gynecologic symptoms. After the removal of the IUD, the first patient who had had secondary infertility conceived within 1 month. In the second patient, the symptoms of menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea improved after removal of the IUD. Although it is rare, a forgotten IUD is a potential cause of unexplained infertility and a differential diagnosis for gynecologic symptoms.
