IUD Expelled itself?
I was using the copper IUD for about a year and it was expelled a few months ago. Guess I was one of the rare few. I was thinking I maybe wanted another baby but I recently started a new job. The law only protects your place with a company after maternity leave if you’ve been there a year. This is a great job, and ST disability and Aflac won’t kick in for about a year. I want something that is similar to the IUD with effectivness and reversibility since I plan on having another child within the next 2 years.
Something similar is the IUC.
Mirena is a tiny T-shaped piece of plastic that is placed into the uterus by your healthcare professional. Once Mirena is in place, it begins to slowly release small amounts of the hormone levonorgestrel into your uterus. It does not contain estrogen, so you can be free of estrogen-related side effects.
While there is no single explanation for how Mirena works, it may:
* Block sperm from reaching or fertilizing your egg
* Make the lining of your uterus thin (this may also result in benefits like less menstrual bleeding over time)
* Stop the release of your egg from your ovary (but this is not the way it works in most cases)
It is believed that all 3 of these actions may work together to prevent pregnancy.
