According to Contraceptive Technology:

One half of IUP's with IUD in situ end in SAB. If the IUD is removed in early pregnancy, the AB rate will be about 25%. Severe pelvic infections resulting in death are more likely to occur ir the IUS is left in place in a pregnant woman. Approx. 5% of women with an IUD in place will have an ectopic pregnancy.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
