No, the removal of an intrauterine device (IUD) does not cause twins. Twins are typically the result of a fertilized egg splitting into two embryos (identical twins) or two eggs being fertilized by separate sperm (fraternal twins). The presence or removal of an IUD does not impact the likelihood of conceiving twins.

I had the mirena iud for 5 years.... two weeks after removal i got a normal period, and then became pregnant with twins. There are twins in my family, so im not sure if the mirena removal is what caused the twins but it is certainly suspect.
