Should I Wait?

Question:

If I am scheduled to have an intrauterine device removed, should I wait to go to confession until it is done? Even if I will not be using it to prevent pregnancy beforehand?

Answer:

No, you do not need to wait to go to confession. Confession requires that we be truly repentant for our sins and that we try to make amends. It does not require that everything be perfect before we go to confession.
