IMPORTANT 2023 UPDATE re: IUD DURATION OF USE- US FDA now approves 52mg levonorgestrel IUD (Mirena, Liletta) for 8 YEARS use for contraception. When treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding is the primary indication, best results are usually seen in the first 5 years. Kyleena (19.5mg) is still 5 years. See video #35 for info on copper IUD extended use.

Dr. Kristina Dervaitis, an Obstetrician/ Gynaecologist in Newmarket, Ontario, answers your questions about Intrauterine Contraception:
What are some of the myths and misconceptions about IUC use?
In this video, we review misconceptions around IUC use, including: fertility, reproductive history and candidacy for IUC use, weight gain, bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, “Will I feel it”? “Will my partner feel it?”
