With kyleena i had a lot of spotting all the time. It was annoying af. After 5 years i switched to mirena. Now there is no spotting and my periods are very light and short.

Hello, I just got my Copper iud removed today after 8 years and it came out without the copper coils around it. Is this normal? Are they still inside me or can I get pregnant?

Hiii dr is heavy white discharge postpartum. and after stop feeding the baby heavy bleeding...... with leg pain, back and lower abdomen pain is ???? something very serious

I got diagnosed with EH without atypia I first started taking progesterone pills but then I got the IUD in my bleeding has been heavy but not as how it was 3 months ago I was wondering while the IUD starts to work can I still take the pills to help me with the bleeding or it’s not safe?

Dear Doctor Dervaitis, I have a couple of questions to you regarding the IUD insertion by you: 1) Do you do this in the first few days of the patient's period? 2) Do you use ultrasound while inserting the IUD? Thank you!

Is there a best time of your cycle for insertion? I’m curious if getting it inserted right after your period would let it all calm down before your next one?

For people with medical anxiety, is checking the strings enough to be reassured that it’s staying in the right spot? I’m wondering for peace of mind and reducing that anxiety, if it would make sense to have regular checks at the doctor’s office, or ultrasounds every 6 months/year - or if that is over the top and unnecessary? I want to get the mirena soon, but want to make sure I have a plan so I don’t live with anxiety about it after reading too many “horror stories.”

I’ve had a kyleena iud for 2 years now, and my periods are extremely irregular. I never know when it’s coming or how long it will last and I often get periods twice a month. I’ve had my IUD checked to make sure it’s still in place and it is. Is this normal?

I’m 41 years old. My mom at the age of 43 was over period. Almost two months ago I changed my method from pills to copper IUD. It so weird because as soon I stopped the pills and got the copper IUD I have been fellings some flashes that just come a few seconds no more than a minute and then they are over. Next week I m going to have two months from the paragad insertion while I was on my period and since that day, I haven’t seen my period again. Contrary what they used to say my period has stopped with a copper IUD. I have had some spotting yes but really light. At this point I’m thinking seriously I have started the menopause. I m just giving some more weeks of adjustment. Maybe 4 more and then I have to consult this. I would like a video about experience menopause with copper IUD. Thank you

I haven't had a period for 8 years.. I've been on mirena since I was 17 and yes I had it changed out in between with only light spotting

Thank you very helpful

Very informative. Thank you!!

I love Mirena IUD I tried all the birth controls all was bad, I love Mirena IUD I’m so happy with it ❤

I’ve had my iud for 9 monthsand I’m still spotting I also get inflammation so I use clyndomyson cream to get inflammation down

i have taken out the mirena after 9 months, I kept bleeding 50% of the time. did keep getting cramps from time to time and then bleed. I prefer a heavy period over this cramps and blood all the time

I am 40 and have suffered for years with heavy periods. I am scheduled to get a Mirena in 3 weeks. The tenaculum freaks me out. I don't like the idea of an IUD but am so desperate to control this bleeding I'm willing to try anything. Praying this works and I don't end up worse or pregnant. Very informative video.

Thank you, Doctor!!! Excellent explanation!!!

Your videos made me decide to get the Kyleena years ago! I had only seen horror stories on the internet before, and your channel was so informative! I had it for almost 4 years and had it removed recently. I've been struggling with hair loss for about 3,5 years and after trying diet changes, supplements and doing blood work that came back normal, I finally realized the one thing that changed in my life over that period was the Kyleena. I found others online who had the same problem, and I decided to get it removed. I'm curious if you ever had a patient with the same problem? Kyleena says that less than 3% of people have this side effect, but I wonder where the statistics come from and how realistic they are.

I got mine fitted last week and I only need to insert the tip of my finger (the first line on my finger) and I can feel the string.. does this mean it’s too low? I don’t have to reach far at all..

I’ve been watching your videos for over a year and it helped a lot to overcome my fears! Thankfully my experience getting it was not even that bad. It went exactly as you described: short, with two cramps, and mild cramps afterwards for 2 days. Would do it all over again 🙏🏽

Maam, can we get pregnant with ivf if we have endometric hyperplasia. Plz reply

My best friend bled for 6 months!!! I want one but I am terrified!!!

Hi doc d,since I was removed my IUD in this month of August 29,2023, after this year she also 1 yr removed my IUD,I want third baby now,pls

Thanks doctor for your video. I could find my strings after 3rd time trying. I had to use my middle figner and has to go deep inside. Just touch around around then finally I can feel the bottom of the strings 😅

Very very helpful. ❤

Hey,my scan after an IUD insertion showed my uterus as being bulky.I am a mom of 4 all by CS,is there a y reason to worry??

What about blood clots 1 month after with period?

Is it normal for coil to fall out with sex? I've had coil in two year's. had sex on Monday with my partner was bleeding after it and on Tuesday. String were lower than usual went to the hospital coil was almost fully out. Is there a chance I could get pregnant

I feel the string from my wife’s IUD. It pokes and scratches my penile meatus which is very painful. It makes me not want to have sex with her anymore. It’s too painful.

I wish I never had the coil fitted I had to have it as part of my HRT I had no bleeding then 8 months later started again, I had a ultrasound and internal scan but everything was fine and in place. Now I have heavy periods again and the constant worry the coil will come out. What happens for HRT if it’s removed I have tried patches and tablets for the progesterone so I am worried the mood swings and migraines will return on removal but I can’t cope with the cramps and the bleeding is so heavy 😢

How is it possible to have sex while u are constantly spotting because of Mirena insert? Its very difficult to be positive about it while u feel cramps and bleeding everyday

I don’t know what to do anymore. I got the Mirena 5 weeks ago and the spotting just doesn’t stop. Also turned into bleeding a few times. Two days ago bright red blood again, and severe lower abdominal and lower back pain😢 is this normal? Too early to have it removed? Is there medication to stop the bleeding?

My doctor only checked once after 3 weeks then never told me to check them.

Im sterlised now ive had the iud and fell pregnant on it with my 3rd child. Im so glad that i have been sterlised yes the pain after surgery was bad but was controlled automatically. I feel like now im finally free of all the contraceptive hormones forever. None never agreed with me i had been taking contraceptives since i was 16 years old im now 34 years old was sick of tierd of all the side effects that i was having migraines, mood swings , weight gain etc. Thank god for the surgeon's that can perfrom tubal ligation because i no one thing i have no regrets

Very helpful. I’ve been having a range of blood colors and consistency. More cramping than normal. It’s not my first IUD but it is different.

Have put a copper one for ten then after start small flow where one can just put a pad liner how long can this last ?

Why does mine poke my partner when having sex?

Thank you so much for explaining this, makes it so easy to follow.

Thank you for your videos well, I got my copper IUD yesterday. I wish I could have seen your videos before bc after I saw your explanation it may be better to get the hormonal IUD due to my periods. Will see how it goes. Thank you again

I have hyperlasia without atypia and they put IUD but my menses on off on off and im going to menopose😢 after remove my polyps rhey found out in biopsy that i have hyperlasi without a typia.it is a risky bcoz im still bleeding little bit not much😢

Please: is salpingektomy danger for ovari and uterus???

Is it usual that on your first period after IUD insertion the bleeding is “prolonged”? And at what point should one go back in to see the doctor if the bleeding on a period continues?

SO INFORMATIVE. THANK YOU.

I was meant to start my period a few days after insertion and all I've had is light bleeding. I don't know if that means I didn't start my period or this is my period, but it is so comparatively light I don't even care if it goes on for weeks or months. I hope it goes away completely.

What if skin is turning black Thickness of black blood

Helow ma'am... Does this IUD can only be removed during periods ? Or I can get it removed during my normal days !?!

😢 Hi I'm in this situation right now...I have tried to get the IUD removed twice and the doctors have told me that I need to go under surgery, because there is no string, and it is moved up into the uterus. Do you know how risky this surgery is? Would this be a case in which a Laparoscopy is next, and how is scarring?

I had that question about mentrual cup use in the first 20 days. It seems logical to me to avoid putting something up there during the "window for infection," but my doctor was unconcerned so long as it isn't in the 48 hours post placement. She was very good at explaining everything you are too, before and then after so it wasn't her just brushing me off or anything. It's up for me to decide, I guess. I don't know if I can manage my period without my cup (or disk rather) anymore, to be completely honest, I'm looking forward to it hopefully being completely gone.

I want to remove

I have a copper iud, is there anything I can take like a supplement to help decrease the flow?
