What else can I help you with?
What happens if you smoke weed and you have an IUD?
From personal experience absolutely nothing! If your IUD is not a copper one but one that has a slight amount of hormones (same as mine) then nothing. :P
Can you get preagnat off mierna IUD after 4 years?
Pregnancy while using Mirena is unusual. You can expect the same protection from the Mirena throughout its five year life.
You got Mirena in May and am still bleeding heavily and have really bad cramps is this normal?
I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with the Mirena. I too had the Mirena and experienced the same issues as yourself over an 8 month period. It turned out that I had several oversized Fibroids and the Mirena did not help with the stemming of heavy bleeding. I had my Mirena removed and subsequently the Fibroids - best thing I ever did. I know they say it can work instantly or may take a couple of months, but it depends on how long you want to continue with things they way they are. Good luck with which ever dicision you make.
IUD Mirena and have a period is there a way to stop it wanting to go on vacation period falls on that week can you take birth control the same week with the IUD?

Can you use mirena if you have not had a child yet?
After Googling this same question, I've read various responses that came to the extent that it is up to your doctor, whether you've had a child or not, if Mirena is right for you.Women have had Mirena inserted who have had no children.I have Mirena and I haven't had a child yet. It is up to the doctor and the issue is if it can be expelled. If it is inserted during your cycle there should be no problem. Just make sure you're doctor is skilled in inserting them.Hi,I got my Mirena and haven't had a child yet either, but it was very painful. The best time for an IUD is 6 weeks after childbirth bc the cervix is still soft and open.
What is the hormone in the IUD?
The Mirena IUD contains levonorgestrel. This is the same hormone found in many birth control pills and morning after pills.
Why do you need to remove your IUD after five years?
You should get the IUD removed if you are seeking pregnancy, or if it is at the end of its useful life.
Is an IUD and Mirena the same birth control?
I got Mirena late November 2009 and am now going to change to Implanon.The reasons are...1.The main reason is when I breath deep or move sometimesI can feel something shifting in/near my uterus.(Doctor said it Might be the mirena but it's ok if it is)2.Allmost non-stop bleeding. Remember though, The IUD makes your period funky for 3-6 months when inserted. Even so, this is not a big reason for the switch.3.During intercourse sometimes not even near allmy partner can feel the strings. And after a while start to hurt.4.Mirena lasts 5 years while Implanon lasts 3 years. I want the shorter timeframe so I don't need to worry about wasting the Birth Control if I decide to try to have another child before it expires.Hope I don't scare you from Mirena,because as far as pregnancy prevention, it's great. I'm just giving you my experience. My personal prefrences and sensitivity play a big part in that.GoodLuck and hope this helped.
Can you get pregnant if a Mirena IUD is not removed after 5 years?
Unlike other IUDs, Mirena releases a low dose of intrauterine Levonorgestrel to suppress ovulation and to reduce menstrual flow - like all drugs it has an expiration date.The Mirena website does not state the dose decreases;it simply states the IUD must come out in 5 years. It also says a new Mirena IUD can be placed the same day the old one is removed. When Mirena stops releasing levonorgestrel - which suppresses ovulation - it is still a foreign object in your uterus. If you were to get pregnant, the Mirena would need to be removed.If you were to conceive with any IUD you would be at high risk for a severe infection, miscarriage and premature delivery unless the IUD was removed. Because of this, your health-care provider will remove Mirena, even though removing it may cause a miscarriage.
How effective is the IUD?
They start working immediately if that's your question. If you mean how long they work for, Mirena is up to 5 years and the copper wire type can last up to 10 years.The ParaGard IUD is effective immediately.The Mirena IUD is effective immediately if inserted within seven days after the start of your period.If you have Mirena inserted at any other time during your cycle, use another method of birth control like a condom or spermicide during the first week after insertion.Protection begins after seven days.NowYou can have sex right away. Use a condom for the first week (7 days) after getting Mirena.2weeks
Does the vaginal ring help regulate your period?
No,the patch wouldn't regulate your period. If your period is irregular it is because ovulation is irregular, as the patch works to suppress your menstrual cycles to prevent ovulation then that means you don't menstruate. Like the pill you get a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when the active hormones are stopped, this occurs regularly but is in no way the same as having a regular period.
What if you dont take your Mirena out after 5yrs?
It just ceases to work (although I understand that there is actually enough Levonorgestrol in it to last 7 years).It just isn't active anymore. It's recommended that the plastic piece be taken before another year has passed. After 5 years, you can get pregnant. SThe effectiveness of Mirena IUD is related to the low dose of hormones - once you hit five years, you are no longer getting an effective dose of hormones to prevent ovulation and conception.This may leave you at a slightly higher risk of ectopic pregnancy so the Mirena should be removed as soon as possible. It can be replaced on the same day the old one is removed.If you no longer have an OB/GYN doctor, you can go to any Planned Parenthood office.
