    IUD - mirena and kyleena - were the two I had inserted. They’re indeed very efficient as birth control and for period issues, problem is what they can do to the skin. I took mine out and I had a looooong battle with the melasma they caused me.

    Sorry for what might be an impertinent question- but I see everywhere that if you get it put in on day 1-7 of your cycle a hormonal IUD is effective straight away but at any other time it's not effective for 7 days- does this mean if you were to get it in on day 28, a day before your period it's not as effective on day 1 as it would if it were put in a day later? Is this because it disrupts the period/hormones you would otherwise have on day 1?

    The copper coil on the iud was deteriorated after tens years upon removal. The copper was in pieces and mostly gone and you could tell very brittle. Will my body remove naturally? What effects will this have if trying to conceive? Thx

    It might only be .8% chance of pregnancy.. but when it does happen the risk to baby and complications is much much higher. With other forms of contraception when they fail the baby isnt at risk near as much. Eg pill, condoms, diaphram so you can safely continue the pregnancy.

      Although there are some risks (and all pregnancies have potential risks- even those intentionally conceived) please note that it is indeed possible to safely continue an intrauterine pregnancy conceived with an IUD in place (see video #26 for more information on this subject). -Dr. Dervaitis

      @JazzyLou18 2 роки тому

      @@niathenaillady yes this is 1 in 100 women. You are not alone. Far better to chart your cycle and use condoms than to rely on unreliable iud.

    @JazzyLou18 4 роки тому

    It moves and you dont know!!! Its not reliable because you have no idea it its in the right place. Checking the strings isnt reliable test. 4 months with copper IUD and im pregnant. Never again.

      @dr.kristinadervaitis789 4 роки тому

      Sorry to hear this. The chance of pregnancy with a copper IUD is 6-8/1000 (even when in proper position). Unfortunately no contraceptive method provides 100% protection from pregnancy. -Dr. Dervaitis

    I have Kylenna IUD for over a year now. Although the IUD has stopped my period, I still get like sore boobs. Should i be worried that I’m pregnant ? ( i wasn’t protected)

    • @dr.kristinadervaitis789
      @dr.kristinadervaitis789 4 роки тому

      This channel is not intended to provide personalized medical advice. If you are worried about possible pregnancy, do a test or speak to your doctor. The chance of pregnancy with Kyleena is 2/1000. Some patients experience breast tenderness with progesterone or progesterone releasing IUD’s. -Dr. Dervaitis
