Hello loves! Here's my honest review of the Kyleena IUD, which I've had for 3 years now. This is a long overdue video, I have had so many people ask me throughout the past few years about my IUD, so I hope this video kind of sums everything up for you!

I was told to take 800mg of Ibuprofen 1-2 hours prior. The procedure was unpleasant, but fast and highly tolerable.

[@yourperinatalAT]

I would say mine was about the same. I'm shocked that many are not told to take any pain killers or anything.

I have been looking at getting a Kyleena IUD, so this video has been very helpful! Getting birth control isn't something that I'm very excited about; I've been putting it off for perhaps too long. I'm hoping one IUD will be a good stop gap for me to save money for a tubal ligation. Thanks for going into a ton of detail. Watching (positive) videos has been a real help in alleviating my fear.

It's so hard because every single person's experience can be so different! Glad I could be a voice in the positive realm for you. Know that you can have a positive experience, and if you don't, it's a fairly easy process to get it out. My suggestion - if you're having a hard time, wait it out for a few months and see if things settle, if not, try something else!

U were lucky bc I didn’t get anything and I didn’t even know I could have gotten anything, bc it wasn’t offered & I felt like I was going to jump off the lab bed. And my insertion take abt. 5mins. I felt like I was going to faint. THE WORST PAIN/CRAMP. Glad ur process went smooth.

I'm discovering that this is super variable depending on where it's done. Where I live (Ontario), if you ask, they'll give you something. For removal, they recommend to take a couple extra strength ibuprofen and there's a numbing spray they can use for your cervix, but idk if they only do that for people who ask 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wish the standard of care could be the same for everyone!! Where was yours done?

[@paisleyvixen5411]

They used numbing on my cervix but I also took Advil and a sedative before the procedure, I had no idea I was going to have numbing also I was on day 5 of my period so my cervix was partially open, I felt no pain

[@yourperinatalAT]

Out of curiosity, where do you live?? That's so amazing that you got numbing! Now that you say that, I think I also got mine in when I was on my period.

Hey my name is Angelica Sydney had the Mirena for 5yrs. had to get the Kyleena new to me

[@yourperinatalAT]

How has it been so far?

[@abbeymitchell8916]

So were you able to lose the 40 pounds you gained initially? I’m worried about weight gain

[@yourperinatalAT]

I was! But I'll be straight up, it took me a few years to get to the point of consistency to do it, once I got there and my nutrition and hormones were in check, I lost it in about 5 months! I followed my exercise with the phases of my cycle, that's what worked the best for me!
