Non-hormonal IUD

There are 2 main kinds of IUD's : with and without hormones. Let us explain the differences between hormonal and non-hormonal IUD's, and how they work.

Among the available contraceptive methods, the IUD is frequently used.

The copper IUD, also known as an intrauterine device (IUD). This does not release any hormones into your body, unlike the intrauterine system (IUS) or hormonal IUD. Copper is deleterious to sperm. The insertion of the copper IUD is a common procedure with no particular risk, and it can be performed by your general practitioner or gynecologist.

Can u ask what birth control you girlies reccomend after birth ? I am done having kids and wanted to get my tubes tied but my hosptial don’t offer it right after birth so I’d have to be out under at 6 weeks pp and that scares the crap out of me 😂 so I’m in between getting the Paraguard as I hate hormones or a low dose hormonal iud like Kyleena ? Any advice ?

I’m scared to death of being put under at only 6 weeks pp I’ve never had any surgeries and I’ll also be breast feeding so I worry how that will affect my baby while I’m in surgery or if I’ll be able to breast feed her right away

Why don't they have a option on those period apps that considered the stuff that happenes after u got birth control out or put in? Cause my periods are being irregular til they get back normal after the Hormonal IUD..and when I enter in the dates I bleed, they don't have a category for that. Or even a mentio of it ..

I’m thinking about going on birth control and am thinking about the paragaurd IUD but I got the kyleena 4 years ago and I hated the implanting and removing process due to the pain… or would it basically be nothing after having a kid lol… But I don’t want a hormonal birth control….I don’t really have a choice of I do that route right? What would you recommend?

It's probably an evaporation line the box says not to look at the test after 10 mins cause it can show a false positive but to be on the safe side you should get a blood test
