I got a Jaydess 4 months ago because my ginecologyst recommended that one. I could not be any happier with the iud, I have tried 3 brands of pills and the shot mesigyna, and the iud has been the best method yet. The Procedure to get it in is kinda painful, but worth it if it lasts 3 years. My ginecologyst said jaydess has showed to have less side effects than mirena, she recommended I put that one and if I like it then when I have to change it get a Mirena

Thank you! This helped me understand the hormone releasing rate so much better ❤️

I used Mirena and had it removed at 6 months. I had cramps almost daily, my period last 2 to 3 weeks each month, I gain 20 pounds in 6 months, I got acné. It was the worst experience for me 😭

So if I get the kyleena will 17.5mcg be released into my body daily or 9mcg? Or would my body be reviving 17.5mcg daily for the first year and then after that first year will it decline to 9mcg?

Hey great video! I never knew about the ultrasound thing! Very informative! I liked the blooper at the end hahaha

I have had the copper IUD for almost 1 year, but the heavy bleeding and menstrual pain is not worth it.

Cant believe you have to consider costs over your health!!! In the UK, I booked my appointment online, got a text, went to my appt, got given a lucozade (a fizzy energy drink) to make sure my blood sugar was good, had a nurse hold my hand and talk me through everything whilst the doctor inserted my Mirena, chilled with the nurse after and had ALL my questions/concerns answered and I was fine the entire day. Health is more important than income!!!

I hated Mirena for the 6 months I had it. I had no period, was spotting every darn day, gained weight, and went crazy on it. It literally clouded my brain. Paragard is hormone free n I love it; heavier periods, though.

I got mirena IUD in October 2018 no period

Damn these are expencive in us... Glad I live in EU. 😅

What happens when you decide to take out the iud? Are you gonna be pregnant, once it out of your body?

[tamishavaughn]

I had kyleena removed back in 2019. Was thinking about having a child. I’ll be getting it reinserted June 13!

I just got my marina in last week and I feel like I can feel it inside my uterus. I know it sounds crazy, but it just feels like something is poking me inside (at times) Has this happened to anyone else?

Hello I have a question (hope I won't sound dumb) but does the different amount of hormone affect effectivness? Like is myreena more effective as a contraceptive? I have Kyleena and I can't stop thinking about it since watching this video.

Glad to see your YT Channel exist.

Love the way you divided the cost to give audiences some idea which maybe better for us individually; and some ideas of brand.

Maybe you covered copper iud already. Will see your vlog post.

Actually, I got a Kyleena iud last week, and the size difference is with the tube used for placing it. It’s about 2, 5 mm less wide. I was specifically asked to participate in a study to see if that really means placing is less painful.

[universezero]

What is the best contraceptive for someone who has a history of stroke and tilted uterus also has had a tubal ligation if it makes any difference estrogen or progesterone? I’m confused

[LadyArcana]

If the Skyla drops to 5mcg after 3 years, why can Kyleena not be used longer thant 5 years?
