      <Abstract>Ectopic migration of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) to neighboring organs is infrequent but can lead to severe consequences. This article presents two cases of IUCD migration resulting in serious consequences, including sigmoid colon penetration in the first case (25-year-old) and right ovary penetration and contraceptive failure leading to pregnancy in the second case (19-year-old). The IUCD was inserted 6 months ago and 2 years ago in the first and the second cases, respectively. Both cases underwent surgical exploration and IUCD removal. Fortunately, both patients experienced uneventful recoveries without any complications. In conclusion, although uncommon, IUCD ectopic migration may result in contraceptive failure and/or organ perforation. Thorough evaluation during care visits is necessary for proper IUCD placement, and radiological assessment should be performed in cases of __doublequotosingmissed IUCD__doublequotosing even if the patient is asymptomatic. Timely removal of ectopic IUCD is strongly advised to minimize potential risks.</Abstract>
