Ive had mirena for 5 years. So spotting and mild cramps are normal? Ive read at the 5 year mark the hormones decline. Is this true? Thank you in advance !
The insertion was so bad that I start getting a panic reaction whenever the doc mentions removal so I am sure it will hurt like a b... cause I will tense up. That thing was the one of worst decision of my life. I keep having infections and doing anything warranting that thing just hurts now.
You're a lifesaver, ty!!
Got my iud a year and some months ago , my strings have always been a certain length consistenly but check today and they weren't length like before ,they aint curved towards the cervix , can hardly feel them , it's like a tinny piece of it out ,more of same surface level like the cervix opening wea they are ... They aint like they wea b4 Could it have displaced????
Can I use my finger to push the string to one side if it is longer .I can feel it up to very close down.
What is the difference between levonogestrol and the progestrin in the minipill? If both are progesterone and you bleed with the mini pill, whose to say the IUD would work better?
Hi my name is Hannah from Canada I got a iud my boyfriend said I have my period than he thinks that I don’t know my body I think I’m pregnant cause I been moody my emotions all over the place so help?
I got pregnant with the IUD. And unfortunately it was an ectopic. I almost died.
Thank you ❤ subscribed already
I've used marina for 28 years i have one child but complicated pregnancy s so marina was best choice for me docter said but my marina I had last fitted has migrated so getting a scan soon the one I had previously fitted before that was falling out so recently not much luck with marina I'm thinking of changing my contraception
I had mine inserted only a day before my period was due, I changed method of contraception from the pill to the coil, so I know I was supposed to get my period. But it’s now 5 days after insertion and no sign of my period. I’m having period cramps but no bleeding apart from weird egg like discharge. I’ve been googling so much and I haven’t found any answers. I’m from the UK and to get a doctors appointment here is not an easy thing at all. Please help 😭
Thank you mam for your information ❤❤❤
Can you get pregnant before having your first cycle?
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?

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!
1) It can be done at any time in the menstrual cycle. 2) I do have access to an ultrasound in my office and check IUD positioning with ultrasound immediately after insertion. This is an optional step, ultrasound is not mandatory during or after IUD Insertion. -Dr. Dervaitis
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?
No evidence for this. In my practice, I insert at any time of the cycle. Some practitioners advise insertion during menses as a way of ensuring the patient isn’t pregnant (in my office I do lab pregnancy testing) and because the cervix may be slightly more open during menses. -Dr. Dervaitis
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.”
In my practice, I do a one month and also a one year check (and additional office visits subsequently if the patient has new concerns). If you feel your anxiety requires more frequent scheduled visits, you would need to discuss this with your doctor. -Dr. Dervaitis
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
The copper IUD does not influence the onset of menopause. If a patient with a copper IUD stops menstruating, it is due to natural menopause, or pregnancy, or other potential causes of secondary amenorrhea (the cessation of menses). If you have questions about your period (or lack of a period…) see your doctor (this channel is not intended to provide personalized medical advice). -Dr. Dervaitis
@@dr.kristinadervaitis789 thank you for answering. I am on my period now. I got it after two months of the copper IUD. And yes my Dr told me I’m premenopausal now.
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.
Glad you found the videos informative! In my experience, hair loss is not a frequent consequence of Levonorgestrel IUD use. I have not had any patients requesting removal for this reason. -Dr. Dervaitis
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..
It depends on how long the strings were cut. Generally, the strings should not be very low or near the opening of the vagina. If you are concerned about the position of your IUD, use back up contraception and see your doctor. -Dr. Dervaitis
@@dr.kristinadervaitis789 hey! I went to my doctors and the nurse said ‘woah, I can see what you mean they’re very low’ she cut them and been fine since :) x
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 🙏🏽
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience. So glad you found the videos helpful!
Maam, can we get pregnant with ivf if we have endometric hyperplasia. Plz reply
This question is beyond the scope of this channel. Talk to your doctor.
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. ❤

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
The chance of IUD expulsion is around 5%. It can happen for various reasons, but sometimes no particular reason or cause is identified. Sex does not cause IUD expulsion. There is always a small chance of pregnancy with an IUD (for the copper IUD- 6-8/1000 chance). You can get more information from this more detailed video about IUD expulsion: ruclips.net/video/DEDcuUF5XaQ/видео.htmlsi=qblVJYEw-eedQa8C
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
Daily bleeding is not typical for Mirena users (beyond the initial adjustment phase). If you have daily or prolonged bleeding, see your doctor for further evaluation.
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 ?
As per the video, light “adjustment phase” bleeding can last up to 4-6 weeks after insert.
Why does mine poke my partner when having sex?
The IUD is designed so that neither you or your partner should feel it. If you are concerned about the position of your IUD, see your doctor.
