Personalizing Your IUD Choice
When it comes to discussing birth control options, it is important to know your options so that you can choose the option that is most important to you. For patients with intrauterine devices (IUDs), there are a growing number of options, and normally doctors can find one that’s a good fit for each patient.
What Are Your Choices?
All IUDs on the market are highly safe and effective. Currently, the chance of getting pregnant with an IUD in place is less than one percent. There are four leading types of hormonal IUDs on the market — Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla and Liletta. Additionally, there is one non-hormonal IUD (ParaGard), which uses copper to promote an environment not suitable for sperm. The biggest differences between them are their impacts on menstruation and length of time they can be used.

If you are looking for IUDs to minimize menstruation and associated symptoms, it is recommended that you use Mirena or Liletta. Using one of these two types of IUDs help patients have the highest chances of not having a period. If you are interested in leaving it in as long as possible, it is recommended that you go with ParaGard. Copper IUDs can be placed for up to 10 years, but it should be known that they are associated with longer, heavier periods.
All hormonal IUDs can be placed in women whether or not they’ve previously given birth. They’re also safe for most people with complex medical conditions, such as cancer, and in people taking other medications that may have interactions with oral contraceptives.

Expectations
Before you decide what IUD is right for you, you should have realistic expectations about pain and patient satisfaction.
There will be some pain during the procedure, so it is advised that patients avoid making big plans immediately after IUD placement. It also reduces dissatisfaction if patients are aware that they will likely experience spotting for three months after placement, even if they might later have lighter or no periods. Furthermore, it is recommended that patients bring along a friend or family member to drive, in case they feel light-headed after the procedure.

If you decide that the initial IUD that you picked is not for you, then that is okay. You are always able to come back, have your IUD removed, and pick a different one. Additionally, if you decide IUDs are not for you, then you should consult with your doctor to find another method that works for you.
