After the implantation of a fertilised egg, the only option is the abortion of
the pregnancy, since no 100% effective method is known save for complete
abstinence from intercourse.
Since the Pearl Index value of copper-containing IUDs is between 0.2 and
0.8, the possibility of pregnancy must be taken into account even when
using such contraceptive devices.

Your gynaecologist or health care service provider can insert another
MelbeaGold product during the same medical examination if you decide to
continue using MelbeaGold products for long-term contraception.
5.3. What to do if you wish to stop using your MelbeaGold product before
the end of its lifetime?
You can have your gynaecologist or health care service provider remove
the product at any time for any personal reason (
e.g. you decide that you
would like to become pregnant; you find certain side effects, such as heavier
bleeding, unacceptable; you would like to use a different method, your
MelbeaGold device was dislocated and removal or replacement is indicated;
the wrong size of the product was inserted and replacement is indicated
).
Fertility is restored immediately after the removal of the MelbeaGold device,

you change your mind after removal or you do not wish to become pregnant
in the future either, please use another contraceptive method, whichever is
most suitable for you, or another MelbeaGold product.
