From the "related links": "IUDs interfere with sperm mobility and egg fertilization. The copper in the Copper-T IUD is also believed to act as a sort of natural spermicide, and the hormone in the Mirena IUD also thins the lining of the uterus, and thickens cervical mucus, both adding a backup means of protection." Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. By preventing pregnancy from ever occurring, the IUD is not like having constant abortions.
There are no side effects of having your tubes tied and leaving an IUD in place. There is no pressing need to remove the IUD if you have other pregnancy protection.
no
There is nothing in the IUD that will stop you from ovulating and having a menstrual period.
No, the IUD should not cause a poking, burning pain. If you are having this kind of pain, avoid sex or use a backup method of birth control until you can confirm that the IUD is in place.
Yes, you can take prenatal vitamins while an IUD is in.
It would have to be. The IUD is in your uterus, where the baby grows and lives in you for 9 months. Having the IUD in there could possibly damage or kill the baby.
An IUD string feels like fishing line.
Not likely but yes. My sister got pregnant with the IUD in and she had had it for over three years.
It is not normal to feel the IUD at all. If you are having pain or cramping, see your health care provider.
There is no need to remove the IUD before (or after) having your tubes tied. Leaving it in will ensure continuous protection.
The risk of puncture (perforation) is very small but does happen occasionally. Having the IUD inserted and removed by a skilled practitioner reduces the risk. You should never attempt to remove an IUD by yourself.
Just had the LEEP surgery... They had to take out the Mirena because of the string...Now I have to pay over 800 just to get a new IUD put in.
