A Few Of The Basics
What is an IUD?
It is a very small device put into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control methods available.
What does IUD stand for?
IUD stands for Intrauterine Device – a device inside your uterus. It is a tiny piece of flexible plastic shaped like a T. Also referred to as an IUC — Intrauterine Contraception.
Do IUDs affect your period?
Yes – Hormonal IUDs (Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta, and Skyla) can drastically reduce cramping and make periods much lighter and some people even experience no periods at all while the device is in. Hormonal IUDs can help treat people who suffer from severe cramps, heavy periods, and anemia.
Are IUDs reversible?
Yes – If you decide you want to get pregnant then you can get it removed at any time. IUDs won’t affect your fertility or make it harder to get pregnant in the future. It is even possible to get pregnant as soon as your IUD is out.
