IUD question?

Question

are iuds safe? do they use any kind of chemicals/hormones? if i go off nuvaring, would an iud be a good option?

Answer 1

I have the hormonal IUD Mirena and Ive had it for 3 years I experienced soptting the 1st 3 months esp after sex but now Ive been period free look them up I think the two available today are

Paraguard (hormon less) and you may see an incress in our blood flow the 1st year along with more cramping but your period MAY subside to non existing. Good for up to 10 years

Mirena(hormones) is good for 5 yrs and has a small dose of hormones thats tay localized like the nuvaring. It dosent get into your blood stream. Your periods lessen and so does cramping until it disapeares.

And only recomended if u have 1 sex partner not bc its easier to get an infection but its harder to treat one IF you get one so if you dont have a a stable partner I would recomend condoms.

Answer 2

Look it up on the net! There is one kind of IUD that uses a small dose of hormones and one that doesn't. You should only use one if you are only having sex with one person because they can increase your risk of infections.

Answer 3

yes iuds are safe. to my knowledge, they dont use any chemicals or hormones, but simply keep the egg from implanting into the uterus.

Answer 4

They're safe, but read the brochure your Dr. gives you BEFORE you decide to use this birth control method. I passed out while having mine put in, and this is common. Your periods will be alot heavier, and the pain w/ your period is unbelievable. I want to have mine removed, but I've heard that it hurts more than having it put in.

Answer 5

i had one put in...my periods were heavier and worse..sometimes all i could do was lay in bed..twice i almost past out from loosing so much blood..and it turned and grew into my cervix and i still got pregnant..then i had to have it removed..let's just say i thought i was going to die right there in my doctor's office it was so painful.
