Hi, if the Polyp is on external part of cervix, there is no need to remove it. It will not interfere with implantation. If polyp is extending inside the cervix that means if it is endocervical then also it will not affect implantation but it may cause some problems in doing IUI. but I think it can be taken care of. So, you may not need removal. Hope I have answered your question.
