Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

Under the terms of the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), IUD are covered by all Medicaid plans.

There are no known drug interactions between Prozac and the Paragard or Mirena IUD.

If you leave the copper IUD in too long, there are no potential health problems. If you leave a hormonal IUD like Mirena in too long, you may not be protected against pregnancy, but there are no other risks.

You should get the IUD removed if you are seeking pregnancy, or if it is at the end of its useful life.

There is no age limit on the use of Mirena; anytime prior to menopause is reasonable.

No, Depo Provera doesn't become less effective after long-term use. There's a similar urban myth about having to change birth control brands regularly; that's not true, either.

An expired hormonal IUD may not prevent pregnancy effectively. Other than that, an IUD past its life span does not affect the body.

Well, it depends on how dry your hair is. Try to do it at least once a month & no more than once a week.

You would know that your Mrena is being expelled because it would either fall out of your vagina or if you inserted your fingers vaginally you'd be able to feel it sticking out the bottom of your cervix. If concerned about your Mirena being expelled go see your doctor.

If you were previously pregnant before you got an IUD they wouldn't of let you have one

If you leave the copper IUD in too long, there are no potential health problems. If you leave a hormonal IUD like Mirena in too long, you may not be protected against pregnancy, but there are no other risks.

Yes a I.U.D can come out of the cervix anytime. yes my step daughter had one and her mother said the doctor said it was comming out! from my understandind it was causeing her a great amount of discomfort obviously!

There are no known drug interactions between phentermine and the IUD

Yes. Depending on the type of IUD some women have heavier periods for the first 6 months, others including the Mirena are supposed to cause lighter periods and many women will have no periods at all.

If the period is very painful, heavier than normal or accompanied by a fever you should be seen by your medical professional.

not sure what the outcome will be but me and my wife have expirienced several problems with mirena since she had it put in July or august 2010 and we also are getting ready to sue

her symptoms include:

BV

Yeast Infection (which spread to me)

Cramps

A bad vaginal smell

Genital itching

Depression

Bleeding/Spotting

Headaches

Bloating

Hair Loss

Pain during sex

and other people have had many other symptoms to it Breast cancer being one of the symptoms. the doctors never told us about any of the symptoms, all they said was that it could cause bleeding for a little while but would clear up gradually. well it clears up then comes back. they gave us absolutely no symptoms. also if you have no shot at sueing the mirena company, if your doctor did not tell you breast cancer was a symptom you could sue your doctor we are suing BOTH mirena and the doctor.

hope i helped

No. It is made of a kind of plastic that is impregnated with various kinds of contraceptive. The dose is very low and is released very slowly into your body over the length of time you have it. It is not more effective when you first get it. Eventually the effectiveness will wear off, but there have been extensive tests carried out on these implants and the lifespan is worked out to make sure it won't expire before you get it removed. Unlike oral contraceptives you don't have to worry about stomach upsets and I believe there are fewer conflicts with other medications than with OCP. Hope this helps. L

IUD insertion is a form of birth control available to people looking to avoid getting pregnant. The most common type of IUD is a copper IUD which acts as a spermicide when in the uterus.

It takes time for your body to adjust to the hormones in the IUD, the bleeding should decrease over time.

Both times are equally acceptable.

Some men feel them during intercourse, that is one way - the other is to insert your finger and use a sweeping motion to feel for the string. If you can't feel them, bare down (as if you were having a bowel movement).

Never try pulling on them, you could end up with a perforated cervix or uterus.

If all else fails go in to see your MD or midwife, they can tell you very quickly if the IUD is in place, it is rare but the IUD occasionally may slip out un-noticed, so if the strings are not where you remember feeling them, see your doctor.

IUD allows the egg to be fertilized and then stops it from developing in the womb. As it is fertilized many people class it as a life, and so it is like having an abortion each month.

Yes, Mirena does not affect the risk of infertility, miscarriage, or birth defects. There is no change in the probability of having a healthy child due to using Mirena.

Mirena effectiveness has currently been studied for five years. Effectiveness beyond this date is unknown, and women with a Mirena for more than five years should use another method, or have a new Mirena inserted, if they don't want to be pregnant.

It can remain in place for up to 10-12 years as an effective method of birth control
