In the US, the Paragard IUD has no hormones. Mirena and Skyla have hormones.
Yes, it takes a while for your own hormones to deal with the loss of the hormones produced by the IUD.
I had my IUD removed and didn't have any symptoms. My body was back to normal right away. But I had the copper IUD without hormones. If you have the Mirena with hormones, you would have the same symptoms as anyone stopping the use of the pill.
It takes time for your body to adjust to the hormones in the IUD, the bleeding should decrease over time.
Yes. A type of Progestin is what makes Mirena work. S
The copper IUD has no hormones, and lasts for 5-7 years. And of course there are always condoms and the sponge.
There are no health consequences to leaving the IUD in longer than five years, but a hormonal IUD may not be effective past its useful life span.
Only if you are being tested for female hormones.
IUD's are around 99+% effective against unintended pregnancies, thus the risk of pregnancy is increadibly low. Breast tenderness does not equate to pregnancy, it could be a reaction to hormones in the IUD or breast growth.
I lost 4stone in the first 9 months of having mine in without really trying to, as the copper IUD doesnt contain hormones, it shouldn't actually affect weight.
It depends on the IUD. The Mirena releases hormones, so upon removal and depending how long in has been in place, it could take some time to conceive, just like the pill. The Copper-T, or ParaGuard IUD, does not rely on hormones to prevent pregnancy. Apparently, copper interferes with the sperms' motility (ability to swim) and creates a "hostile" environment. Since a ParaGuard does not involve hormones, one's ovulation is never interfered with. I am not a health practitioner, but have had a ParaGuard for nearly 8 years and have had an extremely regular cycle and ovulate every month. A dear friend of mine has the Mirena and has actually stopped menstruating after a year of use due to the hormones.
A Multiload IUD is a copper IUD.
An IUD does not make your body think that you are pregnant. Depending on your body you may find that your cycle can be extremly heavy for the first 6-8 months and then it tends to slow down. Some women may even loose their cycle after about a year and a half after having the IUD put in place. This doesn't mean that your body thinks its pregnant. Its only because the linning of your uterus has been shed away over that year and the linning does not come back while the IUD is keeping your uterus open. The IUD does not pass out hormones to tell your body that it is pregnant like a real pregnancy. Certain IUD's can have hormones with them but not to the extent of making your body feel pregnant.
