Hello,
If you suspect pregnancy, a sonogram is necessary. Given the situation, if you want the IUD to be removed, the position should be known before attempting for removal.
So, I would suggest a preferably trans-vaginal sonogram to help plan further management. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
