Hi Anon,

If you have an IUD, then it should prevent pregnancy from occurring.
Potential side effects from using an IUD include:

Mood changes
Acne
Headaches
Breast tenderness
Pelvic pain
Cramping (copper IUD)
Increased bleeding during menstruation (copper IUD)
Nausea

If you are still concerned about this, please consult with your doctor.

Best,

Rosa
