I have a Mirena IUD inserted, and I'm wondering how effective it is. Does Mirena completely stop pregnancy, or is there still a small chance of conception with it?
Yes, Mirena is a very effective hormonal IUCD that prevents pregnancy. However, you must consult your gynac to see if it is suitable for your body and get it inserted professionally. Never try to decide these things without a proper doctor's checkup.
It works really well! I had my baby 4 months ago and my doctor suggested Mirena for spacing. It is almost 99% effective and quite painless when they put it in, just felt like a mild cramp for a day.
Mirena is very reliable for preventing pregnancy, and honestly, doctors often recommend it to manage heavy periods too. Having PCOS, I am always very cautious about hormone changes, so I’d say discuss with your doctor to make sure it doesn't mess with your cycle.
Actually yes, my cousin used it and didn't get pregnant for years. I am currently in my second trimester and was thinking of birth control options for later, does Mirena cause any heavy bleeding initially? I get so anxious thinking about all these procedures, did anyone else feel scared before getting it?
